„Brno is a true driving force behind the European semiconductor industry.” We invite you to Verification Academy Live Brno

On Thursday, May 21, 2026, the Faculty of Information Technology at Brno University of Technology will host the professional seminar Verification Academy Live Brno. The event will bring together academic research, industry practice, and current trends in functional verification of hardware (chips). The seminar is co-organized by the successful university spin-off DynaNIC in collaboration with Siemens EDA, a global leader in the design and verification of semiconductors.

The event will offer insights into modern hardware design verification methodologies, the Questa One tool, the use of artificial intelligence in verification processes, and new approaches combining static and formal analysis. The program will focus on topics critical to the development of FPGA systems and semiconductor solutions, where there is a growing emphasis on higher coverage quality, more efficient error detection, and the reduction of project risks. And the often most essential element will not be overlooked: networking.

Experts from DynaNIC and FIT VUT, Dr. Marcela Zachariášová and Dr. Lukáš Kekely, will play a significant role in the workshop program, participating in three presentations throughout the day: Verification Academy Live Brno supports VUT’s strategic direction in the field of semiconductor technologies and strengthens the connection between the university environment and industrial practice. Pavol Korček, co-founder and CEO of DynaNIC, who worked for many years at FIT as a researcher, values one fact above all else at the event: “Right here at our faculty, we’re connecting world-class leaders in EDA tools for chip design with the drive of our spin-off. This demonstrates that Brno is not just a passive observer, but a true driving force behind the European semiconductor industry, where the technologies of the future are actually being designed and verified.”

• Use of the Questa One tool at DynaNIC
• Overview of the current state of AI use in hardware verification
• The future of artificial intelligence in verification

Participation in the seminar is free, but registration is required and space is limited.
