The Steering Committee of the Chipdesign Germany network

The Steering Committee is the strategic decision-making body of the Chipdesign Germany network. It identifies the main areas of focus, sets priorities, establishes working groups, and determines their tasks and objectives. A research advisory board made up of experts provides the network with content-related support.

How the steering committee works

Working groups appointed by the Steering Committee can be set up on a permanent basis or on an ad hoc basis as required. In addition, the steering committee sets the strategic objectives of the Chipdesign Germany network, monitors their implementation, and adapts the network's focus to changing conditions. It usually meets twice a year.
