Call for Papers
THE CONFERENCE
EuCAP is Europe’s largest and most significant antennas and propagation conference attracting more than 1400 participants from academia and industry, and more than 50 industrial exhibitors, from all over the world. It is a great forum for exchange of new technical-scientific achievements, for demonstrating state of-the-art technology, and for establishing and strengthening professional networks.
The 2021 host country Germany has a strong antennas and propagation community both in academia and industry. Moreover, antennas and propagation play a central role in the current transition of Germany’s strong automotive industry towards digitally connected cars and autonomous driving. Finally, many cellular operators and telecommunications equipment vendors have large branches and even headquarters in the host city Düsseldorf and the Rhine-Ruhr-Area, leading the development of 5G. Therefore, EuCAP 2021 will be a unique place to strengthen the link between the scientific antennas and propagation community and the automotive as well as the 5G industry.
FORMAT OF THE CONFERENCE
The conference will comprise:
- Plenary sessions with invited and keynote speakers
- Oral sessions (both convened and regular)
- Poster sessions
- Short courses
