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 2022 host country, Spain, 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 Spain to the Digital Society and the next generation of terrestrial and space communication systems and networks, hand in hand with the telecommunications and aerospace industry. Many telecommunications operators and aerospace companies have their Spanish headquarters in the host city, Madrid, and its surrounding area. Therefore, EuCAP 2022 will be a unique place to strengthen the link between the scientific antennas and propagation community and the aerospace as well as the 5G industry.
MADRID
Madrid, cheerful and vibrant at all hours, is famous for being an open city with people from anywhere in the world. It is a fascinating city with an open-minded and cosmopolitan way of life. It is the economic core of Spain and one of its main cultural and entertainment areas, being an important venue for conferences and trade fairs, with the corresponding infrastructure such as a modern conference centre, with a large exhibition area, efficient and easy public transport connections, a huge choice of hotel rooms and great variety of restaurants. Madrid is the main transport hub of Spain, and is connected to almost any part in the world, offering direct flight connections worldwide. With its lively districts, its incredible cultural offer, the “Madrid de los Austrias” Old Town, and its dazzling taste, Madrid’s open, warm and welcoming character makes it the perfect place for EuCAP 2022.
