RESEARCH HUB
Connecting industry to academia and vice versa.
The DESN research hub works closely with our sister organisation AESIN (https://aesin.org.uk) and is to better connect academia to industry.
The board liaises directly with universities to understand what research projects are being looked at, and what support they might need from industry, by identifying research projects early, DESN can involve its members to benefit all.
Industry often has design challenges; The Hub is there to find out from DESN members what these are and to see if academia can help.
A large majority of companies use FPGAs & ASICs in their systems, it is completely hidden from view and its functionality completely integrated to the extent that this technology is often completely unappreciated. The FPGA & ASIC Front Runners Network has been established to provide a platform for coherence in this domain by connecting leading companies across industrial sectors; sustaining and supporting the world-class capability that exists in the UK; developing our agenda to drive a brighter future.
