Wel­come

The 2025 Free Sil­i­con Con­fer­ence (FSiC) will take place in Frank­furt (Oder) on July 02 - 04 2025 (Wednes­day to Fri­day). This event will build on top of the past FSiC edi­tions. The con­fer­ence will con­nect ex­perts and en­thu­si­asts who want to build a com­plete Free and Open Source CAD ecosys­tem for de­sign­ing ana­log and dig­i­tal in­te­grated cir­cuits. The con­fer­ence will cover the full spec­trum of the de­sign process, from sys­tem ar­chi­tec­ture, to lay­out and ver­i­fi­ca­tion. After the daily talks, the dis­cus­sion will con­tinue until late in an in­for­mal and re­laxed at­mos­phere.

As the max­i­mum num­ber of par­tic­i­pants has been reached, reg­is­tra­tion for the con­fer­ence is closed.

Terms and Con­di­tions

§ 1 Scope of ap­pli­ca­tion 
These Gen­eral Terms and Con­di­tions reg­u­late the con­trac­tual re­la­tion­ship be­tween the par­tic­i­pant of con­gresses and con­fer­ences (here­inafter: event) and the IHP GmbH head­quar­tered at Im Tech­nolo­giepark 25, D 15236 Frank­furt (Oder), rep­re­sented by the man­ag­ing di­rec­tors Prof. Dr. Ger­hard Kah­men and Nico­las Hübener (here­inafter: IHP) as the event or­ga­nizer. De­vi­at­ing gen­eral terms and con­di­tions of the par­tic­i­pant do not apply.
 
 
§ 2 Reg­is­tra­tion 
The reg­is­tra­tion for par­tic­i­pa­tion at the event is per­formed on­line using the reg­is­tra­tion tool. The par­tic­i­pant will re­ceive a con­fir­ma­tion of par­tic­i­pa­tion that will con­tain the in­for­ma­tion pro­vided by the par­tic­i­pant in the course of the on­line reg­is­tra­tion. Er­rors made in the process can be in­di­cated to IHP at any time via the e-​mail-address events@ihp-​microelectronics.com. 
 

§ 3 Re­mu­ner­a­tion 
(1)    The par­tic­i­pa­tion fee can be found on the reg­is­tra­tion form. The sum stated there in­cludes the par­tic­i­pa­tion in the IHP event (if ap­plic­a­ble, in­clud­ing doc­u­men­ta­tion, re­fresh­ments, etc.). The sum in­cludes any statu­tory value added tax in­curred. The price does not in­clude the par­tic­i­pant’s travel costs, ac­com­mo­da­tions or ex­penses. 
(2)    The pay­ment is to be made by bank trans­fer or credit card. Pay­ment with cash or checks is not pos­si­ble. 
(3)    IHP will send the par­tic­i­pant an in­voice for re­mu­ner­a­tion upon con­firm­ing the par­tic­i­pa­tion. The par­tic­i­pa­tion is con­firmed and the con­tract is con­cluded after de­liv­ery of the in­voice. The costs are due within 7 days after re­ceipt of the in­voice. 
(4)    Should the par­tic­i­pant be in ar­rears with the pay­ment, IHP is au­tho­rized to de­mand in­ter­est on ar­rears of 5% p.a. above the basic in­ter­est rate (Art. 247 Sec. 1 BGB – Ger­man Civil Code). Should IHP prove dam­ages in­curred over and above this sum, IHP may as­sert these. Sim­i­larly, the par­tic­i­pant is au­tho­rized to show that no dam­ages were in­curred or that these were sub­stan­tially lower than as­serted by IHP. 
 

§ 4 Per­for­mance of the event; changes 
(1)    IHP is, sub­ject to the fol­low­ing reg­u­la­tions, ob­lig­ated to per­form the event booked at the time, venue and with the per­son­nel an­nounced pre­vi­ously. 
(2)    IHP is per­mit­ted to re­lo­cate or resched­ule the event, to have other speak­ers than those an­nounced or to change the pro­gram. In case of a com­plete or par­tial re­lo­ca­tion or cur­tail­ment of the event, the con­tract is con­sid­ered to be con­cluded for the changed pe­riod should the par­tic­i­pant fail to ob­ject within two weeks of the an­nounce­ment. The price arranged will not be re­duced. 
(3)    Should it not be pos­si­ble to per­form the event due to a force ma­jeure or for due cause (e.g. ill­ness of the speaker or too few par­tic­i­pants), IHP may can­cel the event and ter­mi­nate the agree­ment. The par­tic­i­pant will be in­formed of such im­me­di­ately. In such a case the fees will be re­funded. The par­tic­i­pant has no claim to com­pen­sa­tion for travel costs and ac­com­mo­da­tions or lost work­ing time, un­less such costs re­sult from ma­li­cious in­tent or gross neg­li­gence on the part of IHP. Fur­ther claims on the part of the par­tic­i­pant are ex­cluded.  
 

§ 5 With­drawal; Sub­sti­tute Par­tic­i­pant 
(1)    A can­cel­la­tion of the con­fer­ence reg­is­tra­tion is pos­si­ble be­fore the be­gin­ning of the event. The fol­low­ing terms and con­di­tions apply to can­cel­la­tions:
a    Can­cel­la­tion free of charge is pos­si­ble until the 18th of June 2025.
b    If the reg­is­tra­tion is can­celled at a later date, the en­tire par­tic­i­pa­tion fee will be due.
(2)    IHP will be happy to ac­cept a sub­sti­tute par­tic­i­pant with­out ad­di­tional costs after prior no­ti­fi­ca­tion. 
(3)    Can­cel­la­tion must be made in writ­ing via E-​mail to events@ihp-​microelectronics.com. 
The re­ceipt of the can­cel­la­tion at the IHP counts for the ad­her­ence to the dead­lines stated above.
(4)    Re­im­burse­ment of con­tri­bu­tions is only pos­si­ble via bank trans­fer. 
(5)    No do­na­tion re­ceipts are is­sued by IHP.
 
 
§ 6 Li­a­bil­ity 
(1)    IHP is li­able only in cases of ma­li­cious in­tent or gross neg­li­gence on the part of IHP or its agents; this does not apply for dam­ages re­sult­ing in death, bod­ily harm of health. 
(2)    In cases of minor neg­li­gence IHP is only li­able for the vi­o­la­tion of an oblig­a­tion es­sen­tial to the achieve­ment of the con­trac­tual pur­pose (car­di­nal oblig­a­tion). In such cases, li­a­bil­ity is lim­ited to the stan­dard, con­trac­tual, fore­see­able dam­ages and the sum of the par­tic­i­pant’s fees. 
(3)    IHP is not li­able for the loss of ob­jects brought to the events or for dam­ages in­curred when trav­el­ling to or from the venues. 
 

§ 7 Copy­rights, im­ages 
(1)    The doc­u­ments are pro­tected by copy­right. The doc­u­ments may only be used by the par­tic­i­pant per­son­ally and may only be copied, pub­lished or for­warded to third par­ties, in whole or parts, with the prior writ­ten con­sent of the IHP. 
(2)    Record­ing of the event, e.g. audio or video, is to be clar­i­fied in ad­vance.  
(3)    IHP and the Free Sil­i­con Foun­da­tion are au­tho­rized to pro­duce com­mer­cial im­ages or video record­ings of, at and in con­nec­tion with the event, or to have such done and to use these, in par­tic­u­lar, for mar­ket­ing pur­poses. In record­ings in which the par­tic­i­pant has a right to their own image, the par­tic­i­pant pro­vides IHP and Free Sil­i­con Foun­da­tion with the right to use the image with­out re­stric­tions to time or space and at no cost. 

§ 8 Data pro­tec­tion 
IHP will use the per­sonal data pro­vided within the frame­work of the reg­is­tra­tion only for pur­poses of per­form­ing the event. In this con­text it may be nec­es­sary to pro­vide this data to third par­ties. In par­tic­u­lar in con­nec­tion with the reg­is­tra­tion and in­voic­ing of the par­tic­i­pa­tion fees. Fur­ther­more, the per­sonal data may be stored and used for the pur­pose of send­ing in­for­ma­tion about other sim­i­lar events that may be of in­ter­est for the par­tic­i­pant.
