DATE is a combination of a [[Academic conference|technical conference]] and a small [[trade show]]. It was formed in 1998 as a merger of EDAC, ETC, Euro-ASIC, and Euro-DAC.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://worldcat.org/title/1112536591|title=Proceedings of the conference on Design, automation, and test in Europe (DATE 1998)

== Areas of Submission ==

The DATE conference invites research papers in many areas related to [[electronic design automation]]. These topics are grouped into four main tracks: design methods, applications, testing, and embedded systems.<ref name="cfp">[https://www.date-conference.com/call-for-papers DATE Conference – Call for Papers]</ref>

'''Track D:<ref name="tpc-d">[https://www.date-conference.com/tpc Track D – DATE Technical Program Committee]</ref> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_methods Design Methods and Tools]''' covers research on how to build better design tools and methods. Topics include high-level synthesis, system simulation, formal verification, low-power and secure design, reconfigurable systems, and new ideas like quantum computing and approximate computing.

'''Track A:<ref name="tpc-a">[https://www.date-conference.com/tpc Track A – DATE Technical Program Committee]</ref> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_computing Application Design]'''focuses on real-world examples. It includes designs for smart energy systems, secure and autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and new technologies used in practical ways.

'''Track T:<ref name="tpc-t">[https://www.date-conference.com/tpc Track T – DATE Technical Program Committee]</ref> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependability Test and Dependability]''' is about testing and reliability. It includes fault detection, circuit testing, secure system validation, and ways to make sure systems work even when there are errors.

'''Track E:<ref name="tpc-e">[https://www.date-conference.com/tpc Track E – DATE Technical Program Committee]</ref> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_system Embedded Systems Design]''' includes software and hardware for embedded and cyber-physical systems. Topics cover real-time systems, secure systems, software tools, and using machine learning in embedded devices.

Each track has several specific topics. Authors can choose the one that fits their work. All papers are peer-reviewed and must present original and useful research.

== Young People Programme ==

The DATE conference hosts the '''Young People Programme''', an initiative aimed at supporting early-career researchers and strengthening academic-industry connections. First introduced in 2019, the program offers career development resources for master’smaster's students, PhD candidates, and postdoctoral researchers. It also provides a platform forintroduces companies and universities to engage with emergingpotential talentemployees. The programme includes networking events, mentorship opportunities, and recruiting activities to help participants explore career paths and build professional relationships.<ref name="ypp">[https://www.date-conference.com/young-people-programme DATE Conference – Young People Programme]</ref>
