Meeting Your Peers Engineers #8 – Deep Dive into Circular Electronics Reliability

The transition towards a circular economy requires a new generation of reliable and sustainable electronics. How can we extend the lifetime of microelectronic systems, reduce e-waste, and enable smarter reuse and recycling of electronic components?

During this edition of Meeting Your Peers Engineers, experts from industry and academia will share the latest insights from the Circular Circuits project, with a special focus on Work Package 2: Lifetime Extension of Micro-Electronic Systems.

The Circular Circuits project aims to create fully circular electronics at component, PCB, and product level. By improving durability, monitoring degradation, and enabling reuse and recovery of valuable materials, the project contributes to the Dutch Government’s ambition to achieve a fully circular economy by 2050.

For the Noviotech Campus community, where advanced semiconductor, chip packaging and high-tech system development come together, understanding long-term reliability and sustainable electronics design is becoming increasingly important. This session offers engineers, researchers and innovators the opportunity to exchange knowledge and discuss future challenges with peers from both industry and academia.

This session will explore the scientific and technological challenges behind electronic reliability, including corrosion, transport phenomena, material degradation, and packaging reliability. The presentations combine theory, practical research insights, and interactive discussions with industrial peers.
