日前,iNEMI宣布将为2009年路线图的制定召开研讨会,欧洲研讨会将于6月18日在比利时的Leuven举行,亚洲和北美研讨会则分别在7月28日和5月14日举行,此举为业界参与iNEMI路线图的制定提供了更多的机会. A review of drafts of select roadmap chapters will give participants the opportunity to discuss key product sectors and technology and infrastructure areas, and to provide input to the roadmap. Chapters to be covered include: Medical product sector Portable/consumer product sector Environmentally conscious electronics Solid state illumination photovoltaics Organicprinted electronics Board assembly Final assembly Interconnect substrates - organic ceramic Packaging This workshop will give participants early insight into the likely future direction of the electronics industry,said Grace OMalley, manager, iNEMI-Europe. It also allows regional input into the roadmap to ensure that the concerns and issues of the European community are addressed in the 2009 Roadmap. Finally, the meeting will provide an excellent opportunity to network with key technology and business leaders as well as iNEMI staff.The workshop registration fee is US$300 (which is waived for iNEMI members and workshop speakers). This fee covers participation in the workshop, including a continental breakfast, lunch and a social hour, plus a copy of the 2009 iNEMI Roadmap CD when published in March 2009. (The roadmap sells for US$325 outside of North America.) For each roadmap cycle, iNEMI determines which topics will be covered according to what is happening in industry and what changes are expected to have the greatest effect on electronics manufacturing. The 2009 Roadmap covers 22 technology, infrastructure and business process areas. New in this roadmap are chapters on solid state illumination, RFID item-level tag and photovoltaics. These topics have been added in response to increased industry interest in the opportunities and technology needs of these potential growth areas. Registration deadline for the European workshop is 12 June. For additional information about, or to register for, the workshop, go to http://www.inemi.org/cms/calendar/2009_RM_Euro08.html
