PERTE Chip investments are an exceptional opportunity to strengthen the Spanish ecosystem, where there are no large semiconductor factories and it is interesting to attract high-tech companies and boost scientific, innovative and training capacity.
After four years of interruption, the IMB-CNM rejoins the Iberian Delegation at the Micromachine Summit in Bucharest (Romania) between May 21 and 23 with researchers Luis Fonseca and Carles Cané.
This public-private initiative will aim to attract projects from leading companies in the sector, train, attract and retain specialized talent, promote research and innovation and connect the local ecosystem to the world. The IMB-CNM is part of the governance body of this initiative, the Semiconductor and Chip Alliance, formed by several departments of the Government of Catalonia, companies and agents of the research system.
The first call for doctoral contracts within the DocFam+ (Doctoral training programme in Functional Advanced Materials) MSCA-COFUND coordinated by ICMAB-CSIC opens today.
IMB-CNM predoctoral and postdoctoral researchers gathered on April 20th for the first ever Young Researchers Day at the institute with oral presentations, a poster session and prizes.
The CSIC, through the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona, and the Aragon Institute of Technology (ITAINNOVA) sign a protocol to promote different activities for the design and manufacture of integrated circuits for industrial applications.
A delegation of representatives from Wuxi, a Chinese city where is located one of the most important technology hubs in the country with a high presence of semiconductor companies, led by Gu Guodong; and the president of the Canadian CMC Microsystems, Gordon Harling, have visited IMB-CNM and met with its management team in the last few days.
Roger Torrent, Minister of Business and Labour of the Generalitat of Catalonia, visited today the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona and its Clean Room, to hold a meeting with the Management team and talk about the Catalan semiconductor ecosystem and the possibilities of PERTE Chip in the territory.
