“Edge AI and Emerging Technologies”
June 9-11, 2026, Ecole Centrale de Lyon, France
The 2nd TAICHIP Summer Workshop was held from June 9 to 11, 2026, at Ecole Centrale de Lyon, France, hosted by the Institut des Nanotechnologies de Lyon (INL). Following the inaugural edition at TalTech, this second workshop in the annual series brought together TAICHIP partners, ECL and INL researchers, PhD students and invited guests for three days of talks, PhD and student presentations, a panel discussion and consortium meetings. The programme covered edge AI accelerators, reliability and hardware security in emerging technologies, ferroelectric devices, and the use of AI in research and teaching, with plenty of room left for the informal discussions that drive the project forward.
General Chair:
- Alberto Bosio, Ecole Centrale de Lyon, France
Programme Co-Chairs:
- Cédric Marchand, Ecole Centrale de Lyon, France
- Salvatore Pappalardo, Ecole Centrale de Lyon, France
