RESEARCH AND TRAINING ACTION
FOR SYSTEM ON CHIP DESIGN
PUB Activity in REASON
Romanian participants:
- Politehnica University of Bucharest
(PUB),
- IMT Bucharest,
- Centre for New Electronics
Architecture of Romanian Academy
PUB proposed 14 courses, two special sessions,
three workshops, two tutorials, three shows and
demonstrations covering 11 of 13 workpackages of
the project. The courses are training courses ,
hands on courses, and advanced courses and few
of them use new generation of CAD and MEMSCAD
softwares and cover the microelectronic design in
microelectronics and microsystems.
The main objectives of the project are as follows:
1. Raising the level of awareness of industrial problems and the level of competencies
among researchers in CEE in methodologies of system-on-chip design and test and
analogue and mixed signal IC design for wireless communication, networking, and
multimedia.
2. Strengthening of links between academic and industrial partners, in order to facilitate
formulation of new RTD projects and formation of
project consortia.
3. Maintaining and expanding the research infrastructure in the academic and research
institutions of Central and Eastern Europe.
4. Knowledge transfer to the SMEs and raising the level of awareness of the IST
