August 25-29.2025, the Institute of Microelectronic Systems (IMS) of Leibniz University Hannover held the International Summer School on Microelectronics (ISSOM 2025). This Summer School was organized in the course of our work for the Chipdesign Germany network.
60 participants from all around the world were intensively studying topics like digital ASIC design, mixed-signal design, RF CMOS design or AI-powered EDA.
The summer school offered a colorful mix of lectures, keynotes, practical tutorials and team events.
The whole event was supported by the EULiST European University network of ten universities around Europe of which Leibniz University Hannover is a member.
