Dear Microelectronics and Packaging Professional

Report on the 24th European Microelectronics and Packaging Conference

IMAPS-Europe is a Technical Society registered in Europe and is composed of European Chapters delivering knowledge, networking and training in the field of Microelectronics and Packaging. IMAPS-Europe organizes webinars, conferences and Professional Development Courses (PDCs).

The latest was the European Microelectronics and Packaging Conference (EMPC-2023) held at The Genome Centre in Cambridge in September 2023, attended by 278 international engineers and scientists. Included in the Conference were 78 leading technical papers, 5 Keynotes by experts and 4 PDCs taught by professionals.

Knowledge was delivered by the technical papers and leading-edge Keynotes

The Keynotes were presented by leaders in the field:

# Interconnecting Chiplets, Chris Scanlan, Senior Vice President Technology, BESI Switzerland

# Advanced Packaging – Challenges that are driving new package innovation & ecosystem needs, Mark Gerber, Sr. Director Engineering, ASE Group

# Wide Bandgap Devices and Multi-dimensional Architectures in the New Era of Power Electronics, Professor Florin Udrea, Cambridge GaN Devices

# The challenges of integrating graphene into existing packages, Dr. Ali Murad, Test & Packaging Engineer. Paragraf

# Reinventing Electronics for a Sustainable World, Dr Feras Alkhalil, Principal Scientist and Director of R&D, Pragmatic Semiconductor

Training was delivered through the PDCs
