Select professors from universities across the country as IDEC participating professors
Reinforce the base establishment as a cornerstone for IC design education and core IP R&D with support for each participating professor's laboratory
Participating professors produce active research results (dissertations, patents, IP, manpower training) with IDEC support (MPW project, EDA tool support, education program, etc.)
Through annual evaluation, the efficiency of resource utilization is maximized by differentially supporting EDA tools according to the evaluation results.
