Application Specific ICs:
Closing the Gap between Research and Industry

Workshop on Design, Production and Industrialization of ASICs

 
Key note speech [M. Pastre]:
"University–Industry synergies: Let’s design innovative products together!"
 
Abstract: The worlds of University and Industry are very different. While research is the main activity at Universities, companies focus their efforts on the development of stable products. By taking the opportunity to work together, the world of dreams and advanced research where high risks are taken to invent very innovative solutions can link with the real world where reliability, efficiency, and costs are crucial to get and stay on the market. So that his dreams can come true, the University researcher needs to stay in contact with reality. On the other hand, the Industry design engineer needs more time and freedom to dream. To be very successful in innovation, both engineers should work together!
