Join us on May 11-13, 2021 to co-create a holistic future-focused microelectronics ecosystem that attracts and retains a vibrant workforce. Hear from thought leaders, participate in workshops, and network and engage.

This event gathers representatives from academia, industry, and the government to promote policies and activities the increase the throughput and quality of students from high school through college for career in microelectronics and related disciplines.

Parallax Advanced Research hosted the AFRL-sponsored 2023 ME Forum at the Ohio State University from 9-10 May with the vision to create a robust, integrated, and flexible roadmap of activities and opportunities that attract, educate, and retain a future microelectronics workforce. The 2023 Forum gathered representatives from government, industry, and academia in two days of presentations, panels, and discussions about the future of microelectronics in Ohio.

World's Largest Conference for Women in Engineering and Technology

WE24: Together We Rise, is a three-day flagship event by the Society of Women Engineers which offers opportunities to engage in networking, gain career insights, and connect with industry leaders on innovation. Participants can attend interactive workshops on leadership and engineering subjects, cultivating relationships and empowering women.

Save the Date: The Microelectronics Commons is excited to announce a collaboration with National Center for the Advancement of Semiconductor Technology (Natcast) to jointly hold the 2024 Microelectronics Commons Annual Meeting and National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC) Symposium on October 28-30, 2024, at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C.

The fifth annual REPP symposium will take place at the Silicon Valley of the Midwest, Purdue University. It will focus on quantified reliability, accelerated testing and probabilistic assessments of the useful lifetime of electronic, photonic, MEMS and MOEMS materials, assemblies, packages and systems in electronics and photonics packaging. This includes failure modes, mechanisms, testing schemes, accelerated testing, stress levels, and environmental stresses.
