	https://date26date-conference.com/programme#FS06\n\n\nDespite many 
	improvements and a continuously increasing number of engineers verifying 
	and validat-ing designs, the number of re-spins required for a working 
	chip is continuously increasing, so Harry D. Foster – Chief Scientist 
	Verification at Siemens EDA – in the 2024 Wilson Research Group IC/ASIC 
	func-tional verification trend report. This session approaches the 
	long-lasting topic of the verification gap by discussing if the right 
	people with the right skills are responsible for verification: 
	Verification Engineers, Design Engineers, or Concept Engineers. We discuss 
	how roles, skills and responsibilities may be dis-tributed among these 
	groups with the goal to make verification more efficient, with a higher 
	quality and less costly.  The session is structured in three 15 minutes 
	impulse talks followed by 45 Minutes discussion amongst the panelists and 
	the auditorium.
