Grand Challenges Event Programme

The Grand Challenges programme of five events was aimed at increasing engagement and collaboration between industry and academia, centred around the themes established in the Grand Challenges in Microelectronics Design report. More detail about this event programme, and the background to the Grand Challenges project, can be found on our Grand Challenges page on this website.

This series of five events opened with an introductory event aimed at setting the stage and exposing the academic work already conducted in this area to a mostly industrial commercial audience.
