About the Conference

DATE 2027 marks the 30th edition of Europe's leading conference on design, automation, test, and manufacturing of electronic circuits and systems. For three decades, DATE has been 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 three-day event consists of a conference with regular papers, extended abstracts, and late breaking results, complemented by timely keynotes, special days, focus sessions, embedded tutorials, half-day workshops, and multi-partner project sessions. The event will also host the Young People Programme fostering networking and exchanges of information on relevant issues, recent research outcomes, and career opportunities for junior researchers. Poster-supported live interactions are available to complement all research paper presentations before, during, and after the conference. As DATE celebrates its 30th anniversary, the conference continues its tradition of being the place where researchers, young professionals, entrepreneurs, and industrial partners meet to discuss current developments, explore emerging trends, and build the collaborations that drive future innovation.
