In recognition of the importance of university research to the advancement of design, automation and test, and to encourage young researchers to work in the field, EDAA has established an award for outstanding Ph.D. dissertations in 4 categories:

• Topic 1 – New directions in systems design methods and tools, simulation and validation, embedded software design and optimization for embedded, cyber-physical, secure and learning systems.

• Topic 2 – New directions in system-on-chip platforms co-design, novel architectures for future computing in design flows, and power management.

• Topic 3 – New directions in logic, physical design and CAD for analog/mixed-signal, nano-scale and emerging technologies (such as quantum-, neuromorphic- or biological computing).

• Topic 4 – New directions in safety, reliability, security-aware hardware design, validation and test

In each category, one award can be given. Each award consists of a 1000 € prize and certificate. The awards will be presented at the DATE 2024 conference, where the awardees need to be present.
