Design of Innovative and Strategic Training Programs in Microelectronics (INFORISM)
Skills and Careers of the Future
Training
The INFORISM project aims to strengthen initial and continuing education in the strategic field of microelectronics. It is based on an innovative approach that places electronics at the heart of digital technology and major societal and industrial developments, thereby aligning with the acceleration strategy of the France 2030 Plan. The project brings together a broad academic and industrial consortium to align skills with the sector’s rapidly evolving needs.
Topics:
Microelectronics, nanotechnology
Background and Issues
The INFORISM project is led by the GIP-CNFM (Public Interest Group for the National Coordination of Training in Microelectronics and Nanotechnologies) and brings together 15 academic and industrial partners. It draws on an existing network of about 100 technical and technological platforms, which it aims to update or expand in order to offer innovative educational programs that closely align with the sector’s needs.
INFORISM aims to meet the industry’s growing need for skills and expertise, with a goal of training an additional 18,000 people over five years—a 20% increase from the current number—in fields often characterized by significant recruitment challenges.
Initiatives to boost appeal—such as presentations at middle and high schools, public lectures, company tours, and career promotion initiatives—will play a key role in expanding the talent pool and inspiring new career paths.
This scaling up will help ensure the sustainability of the programs, infrastructure, and training initiatives even beyond the project’s duration, with a target date of 2030, in order to firmly embed this momentum in the national ecosystem.
