 Asian University Workshop on Semiconductor Design

 

Please note that we will host the Asian University Workshop on Semiconductor Design for the further advancement of Semiconductor industry in Asia.


1.Doctrine of the Construction of the Asian University Semiconductor Network
 Many semiconductor factories have been established with the aim of expanding the semiconductor field in the Asia area.
   From now, for the further expansion of this field, it is necessary to strengthen the techniques of semiconductor design. For that reason, after establishing a network of Asian universities, it is necessary to strengthen international cooperation in terms of nurturing human resources and collaboration between industry and academia.
   At this time, the University of Kitakyushu, Kyushu University, Kyushu Institute of Technology and Waseda University will hold the Asian University Workshop on Semiconductor Design to have an exchange of opinion with top Asian universities about international cooperation (for example, the nurturing of human resources, and the strengthening of the cooperation between industry and academia).
