Results and Impact In March 2023, semiconductors were listed as the one of 'five technologies that are most critical to the UK' in the government's UK Science and Technology Framework. This online discussion event, hosted by the CEO of the Royal Acdemy of Engineering, explored the latest challenges, and opportunities, with engineers at the forefront of semiconductor research and industry, including Rachel Oliver. A live audience of over 100 watched and it has since been viewed about 300 times on Youtube. As a result of t6his engagement, Rachel was asked to join the eFutures DSIT Semiconductors Project Advisory Group.
