ISMOT 2015: 15th International Symposium on Microwave and Optical Technology

The event will take place in Dresden, 29 June - 1 July 2015.

Starting in 1986 as “International Symposium on Recent Advances in Microwave Technology (ISRAMT) and Future Challenges” and being an academic conference focusing on the research and development in microwave technology, bringing all microwave experts together, the conference was renamed to “International Symposium on Microwave and Optical Technology (ISMOT)” in 2000, to incorporate the closely related and emerging optical technology area. The first conference under the name “ISMOT” was held in Montreal, Canada in 2001, and takes place every second year moving to different countries.

The event will be organized by the International Academy of Microwave and Optical Technology (IAMOT), USA and the University of Nevada, Reno, USA as joint organizers along with Fraunhofer ENAS, Technische Universität Chemnitz, and Technische Universität Dresden.

The main objective of this scientific conference is the exchange of knowledge, research work and stimulating ideas among microwave and optical community. Within the conference also components and systems as well as applications are addressed.

It is organized by the International Academy of Microwave and Optical Technology (IAMOT), USA and the University of Nevada, Reno, USA as joint organizers along with Fraunhofer ENAS, Technische Universität Chemnitz, and Technische Universität Dresden.
