UK Electronics & Integration Workshop

Europe/London
Craig Sawyer (STFC), Dave Newbold (STFC), Rob Halsall (STFC)
Description

Workshop to:

  • Bring to the attention of a wider UK community the ongoing work on R&D roadmaps, at UK and European level
  • Identify the UK ambition for, and approach to, R&D in the electronics and integration areas
  • Discuss approaches to organising UK input to roadmapping, and to organising future R&D work

      Community discussion 1h 20m
      • What are the key technical challenges for the UK in these R&D areas?
      • What are the organisational / logistical barriers for us?
        -- Centralisation vs complete freedom?
        -- Focus vs diversity?
        -- Project-led versus blue-skies?
        -- PP-focussed versus generic?
      • How much is all this going to cost? Is it justified?
        -- What is the likely UK participation in integration / electronics areas for future projects?
        -- What is the length, breadth and scale of R&D activities leading to them?
        -- Are there commonalities we can exploit?
        -- What demonstrator / exemplar projects should we target, and when?
      • How do we ensure and maintain efficiency?
        -- Design and IP re-use
        -- Commonalities between projects
        -- Reduction of internal design competition
      • What happens if we do nothing?
      • What is the relationship with industry and other research areas?
      • How do we convince people to act on this?
      • How do we sustain a community?
