Yesterday, we were honored to welcome a delegation from the @Taiwan Semiconductor Research Institute (#TSRI)(National Applied Research Laboratories, NARLabs) to our Institute. Following productive discussions, our guests had the opportunity to explore our advanced laboratories. This is TSRI's first visit to Łukasiewicz - Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics in Poland, but it was preceded by a visit to Taiwan by a Polish delegation who were also guests at TSRI. (Anna Szerling) 🔍 The Taiwan Semiconductor Research Institute delegation was led by Tuo-Hung (Alex) Hou. @Jeng-Jung Shen gave a compelling presentation on the Taiwan Chip Program, which aims to expand the presence of Taiwanese companies in the global integrated circuit design market. This initiative is in response to the American CHIPS and Science Act and the European #ChipsAct. 🌐 Furthering Educational Collaborations: We delved into the Europe Talent Cultivation Model, which fosters scientific collaboration between Taiwanese institutions and European universities and research institutes. This model focuses on educating students and faculty in semiconductor technologies, promising to enrich both academic and practical knowledge. 🚀 TSRI’s Commitment to Innovation: TSRI’s business model is designed to nurture young talent through access to cutting-edge technological platforms and both short-term and long-term internships. 👉 Last year, our young researchers and doctoral candidates benefited immensely from these opportunities, gaining first-hand experience with TSRI's advanced semiconductor technologies. 🤝 Looking Forward: Such initiatives as Taiwan Chip and Europe Talent Cultivation Model are paving the way for significant advancements in semiconductor technologies within our region. Our collaboration with TSRI enhances our research capabilities and positions us strongly on the global stage. Presentations on potential areas of cooperation were efficiently led by Grzegorz Janczyk, director of our Silicon Microelectronics Center. From the Institute's side, the discussion was participated by: Kamil Pierściński, Andrzej Taube, Paweł Pieńczuk, Adrian Racki. We are thrilled about the prospects of our joint projects and confident that this partnership will yield substantial benefits for both the scientific community and the industry. #cooperation #IMiFinAction #seeyousoon

Beginning today of the training in cleanroom at INL - CNRS for students of École Centrale de Lyon: realization of ferroelectric capacitor using physical vapor deposition of nanoscale HfZrO2 film, lift-off process and rapid thermal annealing. This training is based after the results of Horizon-Europe project 3eFERRO in which INL - CNRS and CENTRALE INNOVATION were involved.

2 years ago, I took a leap and switched from the world of photonics to the energy sector at SSE. It was daunting! But here's the thing: the skills I learned in photonics, even the failures, have proven to be incredibly valuable in this new, complex environment. ----- I had previously been told by others that had jumped industries that you never know what others will appreciate you for but that a fresh perspective was generally welcomed. That always felt so generic and wishy washy... Even during my time in academia we were told of the "transferable skills" we supposedly had. To be honest back then it was so hard to see & believe that what we were doing and how we were doing it could actually be useful somewhere else - surely everyone else must be doing things properly, right? While many of my "discoveries" are still just sitting in the depths of some reports or journals, the way we were working is more relevant than ever! More and more work these days is not just complicated but complex - meaning we may have an idea of what we are trying to achieve, but have to accept that we don't know everything on how we're going to get there. Thus, we have to continuously work and experiment to learn & decide what the next sensible step could be. This is pretty exactly how we were working in the photonics labs back then! We also had to accept that our experiments would fail pretty much most of the time until eventually, for one fleeting moment, everything came together and we got those longed for results to submit a paper/conference abstract etc. - I now know that this made me incredibly resilient, almost expecting that whatever I embark on will fail initially. So, this career change has shown me the immense value of transferable skills and the importance of embracing the unknown. It's a journey of continuous learning and I'm excited to see where it will lead to! To all my friends and colleagues in photonics, keep innovating! We'll do our best to keep the lights on in the meantime ;) - If you ever want to chat about the world beyond photonics, give me a shout. Embrace the unknown, hone transferable skills, and keep learning - that's the key to thriving in today's ever-changing world! #careerswitch #transferableskills #photonics #energy #learning

The UK’s biggest-ever investment in engineering and physical sciences doctoral skills, totalling more than £1 billion nationwide, has been announced by the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology. The funding will enable 65 Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs) across the UK to train a new generation of researchers to address key challenges Oxford will lead four of the CDTs and will be a partner in seven other centres, including the new Engineering Biology CDT (EngBioCDT), led by the University of Bristol in partnership with Professor Robert Carlisle. This CDT will address the national need for ‘Engineering biologists’ capable of translating synthetic biology approaches into commercial, clinical and industrial practice. The Department of Engineering Science is also involved in CDTs on Healthcare Data Science (Konstantinos Kamnitsas and Jens Rittscher), Robotics and Artificial Intelligence for Net Zero (Nick Hawes), and Autonomous Intelligent Machines and Systems (Michael A Osborne). https://lnkd.in/ebBsRUGn
