General Information

The “2013 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory” (EMTS 2013) is organized by Commission B (Fields and Waves) of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI) and the Electronics Society of The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE). It will be held May 20-24, 2013 in Hiroshima, Japan. Its scope covers all areas of electromagnetic theory and its applications. The working language of the Symposium is English.

Sponsorships

This Symposium is sponsored by:
    URSI Commission B
    IEICE Electronics Society
Technically sponsored by:
    International Union of Radio Science (URSI)
    IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S)
    IEICE Communication Society
In cooperation with:
    The Institute of Electrical Engineering of Japan (IEEJ)

Location

Hiroshima is a center of peace, industry and culture in Western Japan. Hiroshima is also a beautiful city, facing the scenic Seto Inland Sea with its spectacular array of islands, surrounded by green mountains, and with six pure rivers flowing right through town. Visitors will find various museums, cultural facilities, nice hotels and sightseeing spots near the symposium venue. Hiroshima possesses two World Heritage sites, the Atomic Bomb Dome and the Itsukushima Shrine on the island of Miyajima. Hiroshima is an easy place to visit from all over the world as well as from inside Japan, being fully accessible by air, land and sea.
