6-я Международная конференция "Метаматериалы 2012" (Metamaterials'2012: The 6th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics) будет проводится 17-22 сентября 2012 г. в Санкт-Петербурге.
Metamaterials'2012: The 6th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics
The Sixth International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics – Metamaterials 2012 – will comprise a 4-day Conference (17-20 September) and a 2-day Doctoral School (21–22 September). Organized by the Metamorphose Virtual Institute and hosted by the National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics and St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University "LETI", this Congress follows the success of Metamaterials 2007-2011 and continues the traditions of the series of International Conferences on Complex Media and Metamaterials (Bianisotropics) and Rome International Workshops on Metamaterials and Special Materials for Electromagnetic Applications and Telecommunications. The Congress will provide a unique forum to share the latest results of the metamaterials research in Europe and worldwide and bring together the engineering, physics, and material science communities working in the field of artificial electromagnetic materials and their applications from radio to optical frequencies. Researchers working on acoustic and mechanical metamaterials are also welcome.
The Doctoral School following the Conference will represent a unique opportunity for students and young researchers to get exposure to the latest advancements in the field of metamaterials and to meet the leading experts in this rapidly developing field. For further information about the school please visit the EUPROMETA programme website.
