DivEDA 2024

The 4th DivEDA forum aims to all individuals in advancing their careers in academia and industry, fostering an EDA community of individuals from different backgrounds. A broad community is pivotal in accelerating innovation within the EDA ecosystem, ultimately contributing to societal progress. Through an interactive environment, DivEDA seeks to offer practical advice for individuals to navigate career obstacles, while also facilitating connections between senior and junior researchers to foster a more engaged community. This initiative builds upon previous efforts within the EDA field, with prior editions of DivEDA held at DATE’18, DAC’19, and DATE’22. This year's forum, embedded into the DATE program, will feature a panel and discussion addressing topics such as tokenism, barriers to entry, and strategies for addressing bias within the EDA community. DivEDA has been supported by IEEE CEDA and ACM SIGDA.
