The ITC’23 Program Committee is taking some inspiration from the Physics community for our opening panel on Monday afternoon: every decade, the US National Research Council publishes a short list of the “grand challenges” in the discipline which then drives planning, research, and funding.  This approach has spread to other organizations, including the National Academy of Engineering, which has a list of 14 such challenges.

We’ll get in on the action with an interactive town hall session that aims to articulate the “grand challenges of test” that our community can use to help guide the direction of innovation in our world.  Dr. Anne Gattiker from IBM Research will facilitate the discussion with some prompting from a few experts to elicit input from the entire audience.  Here’s your chance to make your voice heard and be part of an incredibly exciting time in our industry.

Panelists:

Phil Nigh, Broadcom

John Carulli, Global Foundries

Jeff Rearick, AMD
