1.    Theme: Semiconductor +α

2.    Idea of this activity
Semiconductors have been a key industry worldwide and are expected to remain so for decades to come. Today, not only the development of advanced semiconductor technologies but also their applications in fields such as robotics, electric vehicles (EVs), and artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming increasingly important.
In this international student summit, those students who are doing research on semiconductors will join and take the related lectures, and do joint work on the theme of “Semiconductor +α”. The idea of this theme is that the application fields or other activities on semiconductors should be widely discussed from now on, and this is called “+α,” which is very important for the future of semiconductors.
