PRIME 2025 will be held at Caparena Hotel in Taormina, Italy. PRIME has been established over the recent years 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.
The main goals of the conference are:
to encourage favourable exposure to PhD students in the early stages of their careers
to benchmark PhD research in a friendly and cooperative environment
to enable sharing of student and supervisor experiences of scientific and engineering research
to connect PhD students and their supervisors with companies and research centres
PRIME 2025 will feature a conference program reflecting the wide spectrum of research topics in Microelectronics and Electronics, building bridges between various research fields. In addition to the technical sessions, opportunities for the conference attendees will be the keynote talks, exhibits and social events.
The conference is technically co-sponsored by IEEE and IEEE CAS and accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore's scope and quality requirements.
Micro/Nanoelectronics Semiconductors Analog/Digital Signal Processing Computer Aided Design Analog/Digital/Mixed/RF IC Design Power Management/Energy Harvesting ICs Sensors and MEMS Semiconductor Memories RF, Microwave and mm-wave Circuits VLSI and SoC Applications Biomedical/Flexible Electronics Automotive Semiconductor Testing Technical Trends & Challenges Other topics within the electronics field will also be considered.

The PRIME 2025 Call For Papers is available for download. The working language for the conference is English, which will be used for all presentations and printed material.
Any author can submit an unlimited number of papers, but the same speaker cannot present more than two papers.
The first author/presenter of each paper must be either a PhD student, a Master's student or a Bachelor's student; by PhD student we mean a student who is currently working toward his/her PhD thesis or who has discussed his/her PhD thesis whitin one year in advance of the paper submission deadline.
The maximum number of authors per paper is five (the student, the advisor and no more than three co-workers).
Paper Length: The maximum number of accepted pages is 4, including all figures, tables and references.
Paper Size: Only US Letter (8.5" x 11") or A4 (210mm x 297mm) formats are allowed.
Paper Format: Authors should prepare the manuscript according to the IEEE double column conference paper template style.
File Size: The size of the PDF files submitted should not exceed 2.0 MB.
Papers submitted for review must clearly state:
the purpose of the work
how and to what extent it advances the state-of-the-art
specific new results and their impact
The degree to which the paper deals with these issues will affect whether the paper is selected. The most frequent cause of rejection of submitted papers is lack of new results. Only work that has not been previously published at the time of the conference will be considered.
Submission of a paper for review and subsequent acceptance is considered by the Committee as an agreement that the work will not be placed in the public domain prior to the conference. The quality of the conference will be guaranteed by a thoroughly selected Technical Program Committee, which will provide feedback to the authors.
Based on the reviewers' and the awards-committee's evaluation top 30% papers will be awarded as follows:
GOLD LEAF Certificate for the top 10% papers
SILVER LEAF Certificate for papers between top 10% and top 20%
BRONZE LEAF Certificate for papers between top 20% and top 30%
Papers submitted for PRIME 2025 will be checked for plagiarism and improper re-use of authors’ earlier material using IEEE CrossCheck.
PRIME 2025 follows IEEE ethical guidelines and policies in terms of non-discrimination and privacy.
