Call for Short Courses

Call for Short Course Presenters on Monday 15 September 2025

The 25th European Microelectronics Packaging Conference (EMPC 2025) will be hosted at the World Trade Center in Grenoble, France, from 16 – 18 September 2025.

Before the three-day conference program, Monday, 15 September 2025 is dedicated to Professional Development Courses, which will give attendees the opportunity to learn from acknowledged packaging experts and gain detailed insight into specific aspects of electronic packaging.

The PDCs can be either half-day (4 hours) or full-day (8 hours) courses. There are a maximum of 6 half-day (4hrs) or 3 off full-day slots (8hrs) available.

The EMPC 2025 Organizing Team seeks PDCs on established, new and emerging microelectronic packaging technologies. If you are interested in delivering a half-day or full-day PDC, please submit a short PDC proposal online including the following:

PDC proposal

  • Course Title
  • Instructor’s contact information
  • Course Duration: Half-Day (4hrs)/Full-Day (8hrs)
  • Extended Course Description (400-800 words, 400 words minimum)
  • Who Should Attend? (50 words or less)
  • Instructor Biography (150 words or less)
  • Instructor Photo

The EMPC 2025 Technical Committee will evaluate your PDC Proposal, after which you will be notified of acceptance or rejection. If your PDC proposal is accepted, the title and course description will be used for event publicity, including posting on the EMPC 2025 website (www.empc2025.org).

The instructor’s final course slides are due in pdf format at least two weeks prior to the event. The EMPC 2025 team will arrange for the slides to be sent to the participants before the event.

The PDC should present an unbiased educational treatment of the proposed subject area. Subtle and blatant advertisement of any products or services is in direct conflict with the spirit of this Conference. The EMPC 2025 Organizing Team desire that all Instructors understand unambiguously that commercialism is inappropriate; instructors are asked to abide by these constraints when preparing their course handouts and presentations.

Deadline for short course proposals – Friday 21 February 2025. We will aim to review and confirm invitations to short course proposal submitters within 2 weeks after that.

Remuneration

Instructors will receive the following payment per course:

  • Half-Day PDC (4 hours) – €600
  • Full Day PDC (8 hours) – €1,000

The minimum expected number of attendees per course is four. The EMPC 2025 Organisers reserve the right to cancel the course due to low enrolment up to three weeks in advance.

Instructors are expected to cover their own travel and subsistence costs in providing the Course on Monday 15 September 2025.

If you would like to attend the EMPC 2025 Conference on subsequent days, you must register. The EMPC 2025 team offers the reduced Speakers Rate to the Conference for all PDC instructors.
