Amid China’s continued efforts to build a maritime power and the growing emphasis on self-sufficiency in the integrated circuit industry, the convergence of marine electronic information and integrated circuit technologies has become an important driver of innovation in marine science and technology. The 2027 International Conference on Electronic Information and Integrated Circuits for Ocean (eICocean 2027) will be held in Qingdao, China, from April 9 to 11, 2027. Hosted by Ocean University of China, the conference aims to bring together leading scholars and industry experts from around the world in the fields of remote sensing, marine information, and chip design to exchange ideas on frontier technologies and emerging trends.
As an emerging hub for China’s marine electronic information industry, Qingdao has built an innovation ecosystem spanning sensing, transmission, storage, computing, and applications across the value chain, and has achieved significant progress in interdisciplinary areas such as underwater quantum communication and deep-sea exploration and observation. Building on this strong foundation, the conference will focus on recent advances in marine remote sensing, dedicated integrated circuit design for marine applications, and optoelectronic integration, while addressing critical challenges such as high-sensitivity detection in extreme marine environments, low-power chip design, and system-level integration and validation. As the host institution, Ocean University of China has leveraged its strengths in marine science and integrated circuit technologies to make notable advances in strategic science and technology development and industry–education integration. eICocean 2027 will provide an international platform for researchers to present their work and exchange expertise, while fostering collaboration between academia and industry and supporting the advancement of both theory and technology in marine electronic information and integrated circuits.
