Cadence Academic Network Blogs

You might have noticed that Cadence has changed its website, its colours, its message. We have also changed the name of our user conference, what used to be CDNLive EMEA has become CadenceLIVE Europe! Not only did the name of the event change, but also the format, for CadenceLIVE 2020, we are proud and excited to present our first virtual user conference in Europe! This was all planned and executed by our brave marketing team, great job 

The preparation for CadenceLIVE Academic Track usually starts in December, when we nominate the members of the Program Committee and the Program Chairs, send out the first Call for Papers, and develop formats like the Master Thesis Awards, which ensure high quality papers, are interesting for the attendees, and highlight how Cadence tools can be used in academic research and education.

The Cadence Academic Network and the Program Chairs would like to announce that the Academic Track will host 10 presentations from professors and students from all over Europe! Recipients of the Master Thesis Award now have the opportunity to be one of the selected presenters. Don’t miss your chance to participate at the virtual CadenceLIVE Europe event happening October 13-14^th!

Not interested in presenting? Join as an attendee. This year, the registration is free of charge!
