Electronics Based Systems: The Basis for our Future

© Daniela Hinterreiter By Birgit Baustädter Electronics-based systems have long since found their way into our everyday lives. Consciously in the form of new technical gadgets and unconsciously in the form of embedded systems. It is therefore impossible to imagine our familiar life without electronics-based systems. But, and here researchers are in agreement, they will continue to shape our environment in the future as the basis for many innovative developments. TU Graz has established itself as an important research partner at the heart of the Austrian electronics industry. This path is being consistently continued with the recent establishment of the Silicon Austria Labs (SAL) headquarters at TU Graz's Campus Inffeldgasse. Together, the University and the industryoriented research institution also founded the first two academic TU Graz -SAL Research Labs in Austria - where research is conducted on the basics of reliable electronic systems - always with an eagle eye on the needs of industry.
