Design, automation and test in Europe conference
The European event for electronic system design & test
The DATE conference is the main European event bringing together designers and design automation users, researchers and vendors, as well as specialists in hardware and software design, test, and manufacturing of electronic circuits and systems. DATE places a strong emphasis on both technology and systems, covering ICs/SoCs, reconfigurable hardware, and embedded systems, as well as embedded software.
The conference addresses all aspects of research into technologies for electronic and systems engineering. It covers the design process, test, and tools for design automation of electronic products, ranging from integrated circuits to distributed large-scale systems. This domain includes both hardware and embedded software design issues. The conference scope also includes the specification of design requirements and new architectures for challenging application fields such as sustainable computing, smart societies and digital wellness, secure systems, autonomous systems and smart industry, and state-of-the-art applications of artificial intelligence. Engineers, scientists, and researchers involved in innovative industrial designs are particularly encouraged to submit papers to foster feedback ranging from design to research aspects.
NanoIC will be present at DATE 2026, details on our participation will be announced soon.
