About PRIME 2026

PRIME 2026 will be held at the TU Berlin in Berlin, Germany. PRIME has been established as an important conference where PhD students and post-docs with less than one year post-PhD experience can present their research results and network with experts from industry, academia and research institutions.

The main goals of the conference are:

  •  - Encourage favourable exposure to PhD students early in their careers
  •  - Benchmark PhD research in a friendly and cooperative environment
  •  - Share experiences between students and supervisors in scientific and engineering research
  •  - Connect PhD students and their supervisors with companies and research centres

PRIME 2026 features a technical program reflecting the wide spectrum of topics in Microelectronics and Electronics, bridging research fields. In addition to technical sessions, attendees can enjoy keynote talks, exhibits and social events. The conference is technically co-sponsored by IEEE and IEEE CAS, and accepted papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore subject to their scope and quality requirements.
