Regional Initiatives

CIM PACA

Participants : Robert de Simone, Ameni Khecharem, Carlos Gomez Cardenas.

This ambitious regional initiative is intended to foster collaborations between local PACA industry and academia partners on the topics of microelectronic design, though mutualization of equipments, resources and R&D concerns. We are so far actively participating in the Design Platform (one of the three platforms launched in this context), of which Inria is a founding member.

This year our ANR proposal HOPE was labeled by the regional SCS Cluster, through its ARCSIS/CIM PACA branch for microelectronics design. The project was consequently accepted, and will benefit from support from CIM PACA Design platform to host prototype and commercial software from project members (Synopsys, Docea Power, and Magillem, see 8.2.1.3 ).
