“Unlike any other online community, the Xuropa community is dedicated to the entire electronic design industry. It has been designed and built for electronic design professionals by electronic design professionals.
Among the many tools Within this select community you can:

2. View and navigate the industry and your network as a visual map
3. See what news is hot to read through a peer voting tool
4. Gain recognition for your experience and expertise within the industry.
Within a Xuropa Online Lab you gain access to actual electronic design tools for you to use diretly via your web browser. There are no downloads, no installations and no configuration necessary. Within an Online Lab, in this case it is the Cadence MIPI Verification Lab, you have the tool and all of the related documentation at your fingertips. Use this area to learn about a new protocol, a new tool and verification methodology. You can also use this environment to evaluate the products in your consideration for licensing them from the vendor. Again, without the need to install anythng on your local workstation.

To do this we go further than any other online networking tool. Within your Xuropa Professional Profile you add Specializations, such as RTL Design Verification or System Level Architect. You can also add specific skills, such as protocols, software languages or verification methodologies.
News articles are brought in from all over the web and ranked by the number of views and the number of votes each has received. We also categorize each article into different fields so you can focus on the important news of the day. You can also browse industry news feeds that you select in your customized feed view.
In today’s economic environment it is crucial that you’re able to differentiate yourself and be recognized for your expertise. Within Xuropa you can do this by writing reviews of products and technology you have used or developed. These are linked to your Professional Profile.
