THE ELECTROMAGNETICS ACADEMY

Association for the Research Advancement on Photonics and Electronic Engineering

PhotonIcs & Electromagnetics Research Symposium

(PIERS), formerly known as Progress In Electromagnetics

Research Symposium, provides an international forum for

reporting progress and recent advances in the modern

development of electromagnetic theory and its new and

exciting applications since 1989. Topics include radiation,

propagation, di�raction, scattering, guidance, resonance,

power, energy and force issues, and all other modern

developments, with spectra ranging from statics to RF,

microwave, photonics, and beyond.

The Symposium is organized in 5 thematic areas with

about 200 scientific oral sessions and 6 scientific poster

sessions; 36 focus sessions are also planned. Over 1700

Researchers and Professors from over 60 countries will

participate at PIERS 2019 in Rome.

To encourage young scientists and students to take part

in PIERS with presentations of good research results, two

awards are organized: Best Student Paper Award (BSPA),

dedicated to any full-time university student; Young

Scientist Award (YSA), dedicated to under 40 years of age

Researchers with a Ph.D degree in science/engineering.
