CAE Open Day and TIC6G Strategic Equipment Opening Ceremony
The Centre for Advanced Electronics at the University of Glasgow is delighted to announce the opening ceremony and networking forum for the £2.6M state-of-the-art EPSRC Strategic Equipment Facility TiC6G "Millimetre-wave and Terahertz On-chip Circuit Test Cluster for 6G Communications and Beyond (TIC6G)".
Co-located with the IET Colloquium on mm-wave and THz Engineering, we invite you to join for two days of invited and contributed talks from prominent researchers in microwave & THz technologies.
The event will also be attended by Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) representatives and local Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs).
The evening includes tours of our world-first on-wafer MHz-THz facility, the opening ceremony including posters, research demos, and a gala dinner sponsored by Keysight.
Date & Time:
1 November 2023, arrival and networking from 4.00 pm (in the Glasgow University Union building), with the dinner concluding around 10.30 pm.
