Austrochip is an annual meeting and platform to present the latest activities in the field of microelectronics and integrated circuits in Austria and neighboring countries. The workshop is a forum for discussion and contact between academia and industry. Austrochip 2026 is the 34th edition organized by the by the Research Group Embedded Systems, FH Technikum Wien. Austrochip 2026 receives gracious support by our Sponsors.

Submission Guidelines

• Format has to be in A4 format according to the IEEE style.
• Anonymous - remove authors, institutions, and the acknowledgment as papers will be double-blind reviewed.
