Short Courses
Full-day short courses will offer in-depth lectures on VLSI-related
topics given by distinguished experts from industry and academia.

Demo Session
A demo session will provide authors of selected papers to showcase
posters/videos and demonstrate their work. The best demo paper will
be awarded.

Best Student Paper Award
Selection will be based on quality of the paper and presentation at theSymposium. The winning student will be presented with a certificate
and monetary award at the 2026 VLSI Symposium opening session.
At time of submission, the student must be enrolled as a full-timestudent, be the leading author and presenter of the paper, andindicate consideration for the award.

Call for Workshops
The Symposium provides valuable opportunities for volunteers toapply to organize and host short workshops at the Symposium. The
call for workshop proposals and details will be announced soon.

Paper Submission (New Format)
