The German Electronics Design and Manufacturing Association (FED) and the Global Electronics Association have opened the Call for Abstracts for the 3rd Pan-European Electronics Design Conference (PEDC). The conference, scheduled for January 27–28, 2027, in Amsterdam, operates under the theme “Advancing Electronics: From Silicon to Systems.” It invites experts from industry, academia, and development to submit practice-oriented contributions on electronics design and next-generation technologies. The deadline for abstract submissions is June 30, 2026.
The event focuses on the integration between advanced design and emerging technologies. Core topics include:
- Silicon-to-Systems Design: Package-to-PCB co-design (e.g., uHDI, IC-substrates), electro-mechanical optimization, and multi-physics simulations (e.g., SI/PI, thermal, mechanical).
- High-Performance & Power Electronics: HPC and AI data centers, EV power delivery, battery management and cooling solutions.
- Next-Gen Applications: Sense-Control-Communication for Space, Defence, and Autonomous Vehicles, High-speed digital and RF/microwave design.
- Design for Excellence (DfX): Circularity, Compliance, Carbon Footprint, Manufacturability, and Reliability.
- Design Software & Tools: Novelties in EDA software, AI implementation in design, Digital Twin, and data handshakes between design and production.
- Sustainability & Lifecycle: Eco-friendly materials, cross-industry data management, and end-of-life/obsolescence management.
- Process Orchestration: Design verification, testing of PCB assemblies, and development workflow management.
Dieter Mueller, chairman of FED, stated: “Our primary goal is to provide maximum value for our participants. We are looking for presentations that offer clear orientation, provide a realistic assessment of technological trends, and deliver content that can be directly applied to daily operations.”
Dr. Peter Tranitz, senior director, Technology Solutions, Global Electronics Association, said: “PEDC is built by the design community, for the design community. We are looking for abstracts that push the boundaries of electronics design, particularly in emerging fields like silicon-to-systems, AI in electronics development, design for excellence and sustainability.”
The conference targets electronic designers, manufacturing specialists, process managers, decision-makers from management, procurement, and academia. Speakers will present to this audience and receive visibility through media coverage before, during, and after the event.
