NORDTECH Members Meeting,
hosted by Cornell

Cornell University Networking & Technical Discussion Event

June 13th, 2024 - 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Ithaca, NY

Cornell University is hosting a networking and technical discussions event at the university in Ithaca, New York, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. There are still a limited number of seats available. To attend this event, please submit your registration. Additional details (agenda, parking, and hotels) are below.

Key highlights of the NORDTECH Member Meeting include:

  • Networking Opportunities: Connect with service providers and leaders in semiconductor device design, fabrication, and production.

  • Technical Breakout Sessions: Participate in deep dive discussions in AI/Hardware, Commercial Leap-Ahead Technologies, 5G/6G, Secure Edge/IoT Computing, and Quantum Technology.

  • Hub Capabilities: Join the discussion on how the equipment facilitated by the Microelectronics Commons has created new capabilities in the Hub and learn about the unique capabilities of our Core partners.

  • Facility Tours: Explore Cornell’s state-of-the-art research facilities.

    • Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility (CNF) is a core user facility for micro- and nanofabrication. A member of the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI), CNF is dedicated to providing access to nanotechnology infrastructure and expertise. Projects range from pure university research to product development for small and large companies. World-class equipment and flexible policies allow CNF to undertake projects that would not be possible in many other nanofabrication environments.

    • Wilson Synchrotron Laboratory is home to one of the most powerful accelerators in the world, producing high-energy X-rays for the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) and is operated by the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based ScienceS and Education (CLASSE). CLASSE is a federation of research centers that leverage shared scientific, technical, and administrative expertise and infrastructure to advance the frontiers of beam science. CLASSE’s vision is to understand the behavior of matter and fields at all scales of distance and time to sustainably advance science and benefit society.

    • Cornell Center for Materials Research (CCMR) is a core user facility that supports interdisciplinary materials research and development. Open to researchers within and beyond Cornell who are performing non-classified research, CCMR offers world-class materials analysis and processing equipment overseen by a staff of experts.

  • Breakfast and lunch will be provided.  We look forward to a productive and engaging day!

Meeting Location

The main sessions, including registration, breakfast, and lunch will be in the Biotechnology Building located at 215 Tower Road. Breakout sessions are scheduled for Comstock Hall, just across the courtyard. The afternoon facility tours are a short walk from Biotech. If you need assistance with travel to the facilities tour, please let us know. We can arrange van transportation.
