Summary on Grant Application Form
The goal of this network is to produce a strategy for microelectronic design research in the UK for the next decade. The core membership (Professors Brown, Furber and Woods) will oversee the operation of the network, whose 'day-to-day' activities will be organised by the four 'theme champions' identified in the case for support. Significant effort has already been invested in the development of the philosophy of the network: see 'chronology' in the case for support. While the aim of the network is to be as all-inclusive as possible, we assume that there will be some turnover of members; we also assume that the investigators and theme chairs will remain constant throughout the lifetime of the network. The initial college (see annex A) provides a significant proportion of the UK microelectronic design effort - we are certainly starting from a basis of critical mass.The network will operate alongside the Devices Network (see figure 2 in the Case for Support), and the UKDF'06 meeting will provide a suitable event (with an established attendance) at which to report interim progress. The four sub-groups will come together at the closing stages of the grant, to prepare the strategic deliverable.
