Bridging Innovation: Announcing the 2026 1st PICDA Microelectronics Olympics

We are thrilled to announce the 2026 1st Philippines IC Design Association Inc. (PICDA) Microelectronics Olympics, set to take place on May 29, 2026. Hosted by the Philippine Integrated Circuits Design Association Inc. (PICDA) and the Center for Integrated Circuit Design (CICD) of MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology, this event promises to be a landmark gathering for students and professionals in the field.

This exciting competition is collocated with the Joint Regional Summit, hosted by the Junior Institute of Electronics Engineers of the Philippines Iligan Bay Chapter (JIECEP-IBC).

An Inclusive Competition Experience

Recognizing that universities have varying levels of microelectronics curriculum and facilities, the organizers have structured the Olympics into two inclusive tracks to ensure that every student can participate and innovate alongside peers from across the country in a supportive, high-energy environment.

Category A: Universities with a Microelectronics Program

Category B: Universities without a Microelectronics Program
