• The researchers also produce expert analyses for international technical journals and conferences, such 
as the Journal of Physical Chemistry, Composite Interfaces, Microelectronics Reliability, IEEE Transac-
tions on Mechatronics, IEEE Transactions on Magnetics, Microelectronic Engineering, Applied Surface 
Science, Eurosensors XXIII, etc.
• The COMET Austrian Smart Systems Integration Research Center (ASSIC), which is being continued by 
Silicon Austria Labs (SAL) as a supporting organisation in 2019 for the second funding period (as of 11 
July 2019), has welcomed five international industry partners. In the area of scientific partners, the 
consortium consists of four international partners. 
• Silicon Labs Austria (SAL) also supports the internationalisation of the research centre in all other areas 
of research. In 2019, for example, SAL participated in ten internationally funded projects with a total 
project volume of approximately €3.86 million. 
• In the area of contract research, Silicon Austria Labs (SAL) successfully completed a number of interna-
tional projects during the reporting period. (The largest orders come from DLR, AIRBUS Group, Baumer 
Identec.)
• The support organisation also participates in numerous internationally active clusters and associations. 
This includes continued participation in the European initiatives Electronic Components and Systems 
for European Leadership (ECSEL, EU Joint Undertaking) and European Technology Platform on Smart 
Systems Integration (EPoSS), the AMA Association for Sensors and Measurement, the Institute of Elec-
trical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the International Society of Optics and Photonics (SPIE) and the 
Silicon Alps Cluster.
