Our Activities to Support Members and the Community
Networking
Host regular gatherings where members can connect with peers, industry leaders, and potential mentors. These events might range from informal “tech talks” and roundtable discussions to more structured conferences and symposiums. By facilitating personal connections, members gain opportunities for collaboration, career advancement, and partnerships.
Workshops and Training Programs
Short courses on semiconductor fundamentals, emerging technologies (e.g., advanced lithography, wafer-level packaging, power electronics), and software tools commonly used in chip design. These workshops can be held virtually or in-person, enabling both students and professionals to upgrade their skills and remain competitive in the job market.
Job Placement Programs
Collaborate with local and international semiconductor companies, R&D centers, and startup incubators to create internship pipelines. Serve as a liaison to help members—especially students and recent graduates—find placements that offer hands-on industry experience, opening pathways to full-time employment.
R&D Consortiums
Encourage collaborative research projects by bringing together university labs, private sector companies, and independent engineers. These consortiums can focus on solving shared technical challenges, applying for joint grants, and publishing research findings—thus accelerating innovation and boosting the global profile of Serbian semiconductor expertise.
Educational Outreach
Launch outreach programs in schools, universities, and community centers to raise awareness about semiconductor technology and careers. Offer lectures, create simple educational kits, host science fairs, and mentor student robotics or electronics clubs. Such efforts not only inspire the next generation but also enrich the local talent pipeline.
Annual Conference or Symposium
Organize a yearly flagship event that brings together international experts, keynote speakers, and exhibitors. By providing a platform for demonstrating cutting-edge research, showcasing new products, and discussing industry trends, the society helps position Serbia as a noteworthy hub in the global semiconductor landscape.
Publications and Resource Sharing
Curate a digital library of whitepapers, technical documents, recorded seminars, and market analyses. Publish a periodic newsletter or journal summarizing industry updates, member achievements, and noteworthy research. This repository of knowledge strengthens the technical proficiency of members and informs strategic decision-making.
Mentorship and Coaching Programs
Connect experienced professionals and academics with students and early-career engineers for one-on-one mentorship. These mentor-mentee relationships support career development, guide research interests, help navigate professional challenges, and cultivate leadership skills within the community.
Advocacy & Industry
Engage with policymakers, trade associations, and international organizations to champion policies and initiatives that support semiconductor innovation in Serbia. By voicing member concerns and providing expert input on regulatory and economic matters, the society can help shape a supportive environment for growth and investment in the semiconductor sector.
