International Test Conference, the world’s premier venue dedicated to the electronic test of devices, boards and systems, will host a dedicated Academia Research Track (ART) to manifest creative research ideas from students and young academicians. The key objective of this academia track is to provide a dedicated informal forum for vigorous creative discussion and debate of this area from researchers of various academic institutes. The aim is to encourage the oral/poster presentation with discussion on truly innovative and “out-of-the-box” ideas that may not yet have been fully developed for presentation at reviewed conferences to address these challenges. Additionally, the selected abstracts will get an opportunity to be published in IEEE Explore along with ITC main conference proceedings.

Students and young academicians are invited to submit original and high-quality research work or an innovative idea to this track. Selected ideas will interact with dedicated panel from industry to further extended the research work of common interests. ART is a platform of presenting late-breaking ideas, getting feedback on an innovative method, or participating without having to write a full paper.

Last year, the 6th Edition of International Test Conference, India, for the first time, had provided a unique platform for master’s students, research scholars and post-docs to discuss novel research ideas, publication, funding advice and career opportunities from an established practitioner/Industrial liaison within their field. For the first time, ITC India had offered a “conference-sponsored Research Mentorship Program” to assist students in finding industrial liaisons and gain valuable insights on high-impact research ideas in the area of VLSI testing, Diagnosis and Reliability.  Last year, more than 25 applications were received for this program. After proper scrutiny, 10 participants were benefited under this program and currently under the mentorship of industry professionals for their research activities. Continuing the same spirit, the 7th  Edition of International Test Conference, India is inviting the applications from the aspirants of VLSI test field.

Apart from establishing collaborative relationships with industry liaisons, this is your opportunity to learn about, how your area of research fits within the industrial context.
