STEERING COMMITTEE (StC)

The European Conference on Antennas and Propagation provides a wide forum for Antennas and Propagation experts (typically about 1200 attendees) from academia, industry, research institutes, agencies, and providers with high quality exchanges and presentations covering all development aspects and including measurements. Expected benefits are intensified collaborations in Europe and beyond. The conference includes an exhibit to display the state-of-the-art on technology, instrumentation, test facilities, software tools, and documentation available in the field of the conference.

The European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP) provides the legal frame as well as the contractual and financial support to organise the European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP) overseen by the EuCAP Steering Committee (StC).

VIEW STEERING COMMITTEE

THE MISSION OF THE CONFERENCE

The mission of the conference is to provide a forum for Antennas and Propagation experts from academia, industry, research institutes, agencies, and providers for high quality exchanges covering all development aspects and including measurements. Expected benefits are intensified collaborations in Europe and beyond.
To that aim, tools such as application tracks, industrial workshops, technical tours have been implemented. As well, the conference includes an exhibit to display the state-of-the-art on technology, instrumentation, test facilities, software tools, and documentation available in the field of the conference.

WIDE AUDIANCE FROM ALL CONTINENTS

EuCAP roots go back to the British ICAP with oral sessions, good beer and whisky; the Mediterranean JINA, with plenary and poster sessions and its famous food and wine; and the more continental AP2000, in Davos, combining them, with a pinch of European salt.
Organised each year since 2006, EuCAP attracts between 1000 to 1300 delegates and 40 to 65 exhibitors and has become over the years a major and referenced event in the area of antennas and propagation. EuCAP attracts a wide audience from all continents with a constant grow of attendance experienced year after year.

SCHOOL OF ELECTROMAGNETIC ENGINEERING

The European School of Antennas and Propagation (It includes, besides Antennas and Propagation, courses of Computational EM, Metamaterials, Bio-EM, Wireless, Nanostructured materials, and TeraHertz. ESoA) is a self-consistent model of post graduate school distributed in the several research center in Europe. ESoA is becoming not only important in the specific field of Antennas and Propagation, but it is gradually evolving to become the most important and biggest school in the world of Electromagnetic Engineering.
ESoA creates a large spread of knowledge among students, early stage scientists and researchers all over Europe.

ESoA BOOK 2021 COURSES

NETWORK OF EXCELLENCE

From 2008 ESoA was founded in 2004 by a group of institutions in the framework of the FP6 Network of Excellence "ACE" (Antenna Centre of Excellence) and it was afterwards financed in FP7 by a Marie Curie Action (MCA) project till 2007. ESoA is part of EurAAP. The ESoA courses are distributed in the most accredited European research centers on antennas and propagation in Europe.

Reinforcing

Reinforcing the European excellence in EM engineering
with emphasis on antennas

Increasing

Increasing the ties in research and development between
Universities and Industries on an European scale

Creating

Creating an effective advanced formative offer at international level to
complete individual PhD curricula

Facilitating

Facilitating the interchange of ideas among early-stage researchers and trainers as well as among young researchers thus increasing the future mobility and synergy

HIGH LEVEL ADVANCED EDUCATION

The most attractive feature of ESoA is the fact that it is geographically distributed, giving the students a unique opportunity to attend courses in the most relevant Scientific Centers of Excellence, and to attend lectures from the best local and visiting instructors. Simultaneously, the instructors learn from their colleagues different way to teach. with a peak of 290 students in 2012. The courses are continuously updated and each edition is never equal to the previous one. ESoA constitute a worldwide unique system of excellence in high-level advanced education. A similar system of excellence is neither known in Europe, nor worldwide.
ESoA includes the best 100 teachers in Europe, among which they are seventeen IEEE Fellows, and many other lecturers. ESoA is attended by an average of 220 students per year,

The institutions listed below have signed a Memorandum of Understanding which establishes the objectives and the scope of ESoA.

ESoA BOARD

The ESoA board is composed by 39 members; 34 for each affiliated institution, who are also coordinators of courses, plus other 5 members: one member from European Space Agency (ESA), one from European Microwave Association (EuMA) one from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), one from IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (IEEE AP-S) and one from the EurAAP working group of Propagation.
The ESoA Board meets two or three times per year and gets continuously stimulus to updating the courses and introducing new ones. The coordinators of the courses improve the content of each edition for maintain each course at the state-of-the-art level. Several new junior professors are included in the structure when they reach the right maturity, and in doing so, the ESoA board members perform a talent scouting action in conferences. ESoA also constitutes a strong tool for improving the dialogue between the universities and the industries, giving thereby employment opportunities to students

Electromagnetic (EM) technologies are nowadays an essential part of clinical practice: RF minimally-invasive tools and ablation treatments have drastically changed surgery rooms; Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the gold standard of medical diagnostics and EM Hyperthermia is growing as an effective adjuvant anticancer treatment. In addition, other applications are rapidly emerging, such as microwave imaging, and the advent of nanotechnologies can lead to completely new developments, including remote control of drug delivery and biological processes. This course aims at introducing this vibrant and interdisciplinary area into the Antenna (and Electromagnetic) Community, providing the ability to understand the issues of medical applications of EM fields. It is primarily conceived for Doctoral students and researchers with an engineering or physics background. In this cross-disciplinary course, instructors from EM engineering, physics, biology and clinical communities will be involved.

The course is co-organized with:

Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action EMERALD - ElectroMagnetic imaging for a novel genERation of medicAL Devices

COST ACTION CA17115 MyWAVE - European network for advancing Electromagnetic hyperthermic medical technologies

Electromagnetic (EM) fields are increasingly used in clinical practice both in diagnostics and therapeutic applications. Examples include Magnetic Resonance Imaging for the diagnosis, and electromagnetic hyperthermia and thermal ablation for therapies. Additionally, new applications are under development, as e.g., radar-based monitoring and microwave tomography. Design, operation and research of these applications requires understanding and exploiting the interaction of the electromagnetic fields with the human body. This course aims at introducing this interdisciplinary area to the interested audience in the electromagnetic community, providing the basis of the interactions between EM fields and biology, the ability to understand the issues of medical applications of EM fields and the overlie of the specific challenges faced by EM engineering in the design of the devices. The course is primarily conceived for Doctoral students and early-career researchers with an engineering or physics background.

This course edition is focused on medical diagnostics via EM fields. To lead the students towards such applications, the basics of the interaction between EM fields and biological systems are first reviewed in terms of mathematical and physics models, as well as of biological mechanisms. Then, an overview of the effects of EM fields on living systems and of the underlying mechanisms is given. This leads to the main three medical imaging modalities based on EM fields: Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Electroencephalography and Microwave Imaging. For each of them, the basics are reviewed, and the emerging trends are presented. Laboratory demonstrations on Electroencephalography and Microwave Imaging will complement the lectures, providing a unique opportunity for a hands-on interaction with advanced techniques and their implementations.
