KEYNOTE SESSION

 9.00-9.35 Adapting to Change: Lessons from the Chip Crisis for Electronic Circuit Design

To avoid becoming another victim of the ongoing chip crisis, we had to adapt and explore different ways of designing products. We tried a number of solutions, many of which we plan to continue to use even once this crisis is over. We would like to share these practices that have been helping us during this challenging time.
