DATE 2026

The DATE conference is the main European event bringing together designers and design automation users, researchers and vendors, as well as specialists in hardware and software design, test, and manufacturing of electronic circuits and systems. DATE places a strong emphasis on both technology and systems, covering ICs/SoCs, reconfigurable hardware, and embedded systems, as well as embedded software.

The three-day event consists of a conference with regular papers, extended abstracts, and late breaking results, complemented by timely keynotes, special days, focus sessions, embedded tutorials, half-day workshops, and multi-partner project sessions. The event will also host the Young People Programme fostering networking and exchanges of information on relevant issues, recent research outcomes, and career opportunities for junior researchers. Poster-supported live interactions and pre-recorded videos are available to complement all research paper presentations before, during, and after the conference.

DATE 2026 is the 29th edition of an event that has always been the place for researchers, young professionals, and industrial partners to meet, present their research, and discuss current developments and upcoming trends, with high emphasis on social interaction.
