Network : Developing a Common Vision for UK research in Microelectronic Design.

该网络的目标是为英国未来十年的微电子设计研究制定战略。核心成员（布朗教授、弗伯教授和伍兹教授）将监督该网络的运作，该网络的“日常”活动将由案件中确定的四个“主题支持者”组织。在网络理念的发展方面已经投入了大量的努力：请参见案例中的“年表”以获得支持。虽然网络的目标是尽可能包容各方，但我们假设成员会有一些更替;我们还假设调查人员和专题主席在网络的整个生命周期内保持不变。最初的学院（见附件A）提供了英国微电子设计工作的一个重要部分--我们当然是从临界质量的基础开始的。该网络将与器件网络一起运作（见支持案例中的图2），UKDF'06会议将提供一个适当的活动（有既定的出席人数），在该活动上报告中期进展。四个分组将在赠款的最后阶段聚集在一起，准备战略交付成果。

The goal of this network is to produce a strategy for microelectronic design research in the UK for the next decade. The core membership (Professors Brown, Furber and Woods) will oversee the operation of the network, whose 'day-to-day' activities will be organised by the four 'theme champions' identified in the case for support. Significant effort has already been invested in the development of the philosophy of the network: see 'chronology' in the case for support. While the aim of the network is to be as all-inclusive as possible, we assume that there will be some turnover of members; we also assume that the investigators and theme chairs will remain constant throughout the lifetime of the network. The initial college (see annex A) provides a significant proportion of the UK microelectronic design effort - we are certainly starting from a basis of critical mass.The network will operate alongside the Devices Network (see figure 2 in the Case for Support), and the UKDF'06 meeting will provide a suitable event (with an established attendance) at which to report interim progress. The four sub-groups will come together at the closing stages of the grant, to prepare the strategic deliverable.
