CNSC Annual Meeting 2026: ACDRC Presents Its Results to the Czech Semiconductor Ecosystem
More than 50 member organisations of the Czech National Semiconductor Cluster (CNSC) met in Brno on 24 September.
The Bridge to Sustainable and Resilient Semiconductor Ecosystem
December 3rd 2026, Czech -Taiwan Collaboration conference
Join us at The Bridge to Sustainable and Resilient Semiconductor Ecosystem conference this December.
The event brings together innovators, experts from universities and research institutions who are involved in the management of the ACDRC and SCRC projects and in the development of their activities to share insights on the semiconductor world. Expect keynote talks, hands-on sessions, and plenty of opportunities to network with experts from across the field.

About SCRC
Supply Chain Resilience Centre
Charles University and its faculties have launched a joint project with National Chengchi University in Taiwan to establish the Supply Chain Resilience Center. The universities will jointly explore supply chain resilience. The center is part of a so-called multi-project in which the Taiwanese government is supporting the development of the semiconductor environment in the Czech Republic.
About ACDRC
Artificial Chip Design and Research Centre
The Advanced Chip Design and Research Center (ACDRC) aims to foster innovation and collaboration in semiconductor research and education between Taiwan and the Czech Republic. This project is a collaborative effort between Taiwanese and Czech organizations, specifically NIAR and CyberSecurityHubcz, which serves as the main execution unit, complemented by a consortium that includes the Czech Technical University, Masaryk University, and Brno University of Technology.
