INESC-ID, Instituto de Telecomunicações, and DEEC – Instituto Superior Técnico are organizing the Summer School “Artificial Intelligence for Integrated Circuits and Integrated Circuits for Artificial Intelligence” as part of the POEMS consortium.
This summer school aims to explore the powerful convergence of AI-driven Integrated Circuit design and specialised hardware for AI. As traditional design reaches its limits, we examine how machine learning is automating the design flow - from circuit sizing to layout - while simultaneously diving into the next-generation architectures like chiplets and in-memory computing that power modern AI workloads. Join leading experts to master the tools to reshape the future of the semiconductor landscape.
Through a mix of expert-led lectures and technical tutorials, the program bridges the gap between theoretical algorithms and physical silicon. You will explore cutting-edge paradigms such as 3D integration, photonic computing, and near-sensor processing, while gaining a holistic perspective on how these architectures must evolve to meet the massive parallelism and energy demands of modern AI. By fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration, this summer school equips you with the practical insights and systemic thinking necessary to contribute to the next generation of intelligent electronic systems.
The summer school will bring together students, researchers, and industry experts to explore the intersection between Artificial Intelligence and Integrated Circuits, from AI-assisted chip design to hardware accelerators and next-generation intelligent systems.
It is a great opportunity for anyone interested in:
• AI-driven IC design
• Hardware for machine learning
• Edge AI and efficient computing
Looking forward to welcoming participants from academia and industry to Lisbon for an exciting week of lectures, discussions, and networking.
