Acropolis, Nice, France

The PhD forum is part of the DATE Conference and hosted by the European Design Automation Association EDAA.

The PhD Forum is a great opportunity for PhD students to present their thesis work to a broad audience in the system design and design automation community from both industry and academia. The PhD Forum may also help students to establish contacts for entering the job market. On the other side, representatives from industry and academia get a glance of state-of-the-art in system design and design automation.
