The EDA Achievement Award is presented for special research and development achievements in the field of EDA (Electronic Design Automation and "Electronics, Design and Applications"). It is intended to highlight and reward achievements that have been made in projects of the German government's framework program for microelectronics research or in comparable R&D programs, including international ones.
The prizes were awarded for work by individuals or teams that made a particular contribution to achieving the goals of the above-mentioned programs. Particular consideration was given to contributions that have brought about a measurable and thus demonstrable improvement or acceleration of the design process and thus an industrial benefit.
