Steering Committee
The Steering Committee oversees the planning and continuity of the International Symposia on Electromagnetic Compatibility organized by EMC Europe. Its members coordinate host cities, scientific programmes, and collaboration with IEEE and other international bodies.
Committee Role
The Steering Committee brings together senior researchers and practitioners in electromagnetic compatibility to ensure each symposium maintains high scientific standards. Responsibilities include selecting future venues, approving technical programme chairs, and liaising with local organizing committees.
Past symposia have been held under the committee's direction in cities including Wroclaw, Dresden, Gothenburg, Brugge, Rome, York, Hamburg, Barcelona, and Glasgow — reflecting a long-standing tradition of rotating European host locations.
For general inquiries, the committee can be reached at info@emceurope.org.
Private Area
Committee members may access internal resources and coordination tools through a private area. Access details are distributed directly to serving members.
The Steering Committee of EMC Europe is composed of distinguished researchers and practitioners who have dedicated their careers to the advancement of electromagnetic compatibility science. These individuals bring decades of collective experience from academia, industry, and regulatory bodies across Europe and beyond. Their principal charge is to safeguard the intellectual rigour and international reputation of each symposium. Committee members evaluate bids from prospective host cities, review scientific proposals for special sessions and workshops, and ensure continuity between successive events. Through careful deliberation, they maintain the collaborative spirit that has defined EMC Europe since its earliest gatherings, fostering an environment where established experts and emerging scholars alike can share discoveries and shape the future of the field.
Each year, the symposium rotates to a different European city, offering attendees fresh perspectives and local engagement with the host region's engineering community. The Steering Committee plays an essential role in selecting these venues, considering factors such as infrastructure, accessibility, and regional interest in electromagnetic compatibility research. Past symposia have been held in cities including Barcelona, Rome, Gothenburg, Krakow, Paris, Angers, and Glasgow, with forthcoming events continuing this tradition of geographic diversity. This rotation not only broadens the symposium's reach but also strengthens ties between the international EMC community and local academic and industrial organisations, ensuring that each gathering reflects both global standards and regional character.
Beyond venue selection, the Steering Committee oversees the scientific programme to ensure it remains responsive to emerging challenges in electromagnetic compatibility. As technology evolves with the proliferation of wireless devices, electric vehicles, and complex electronic systems, the committee works with programme chairs to curate sessions that address both foundational theory and cutting-edge applications. Special sessions, workshops, and tutorials are proposed and vetted through a collaborative review process. The committee also liaises with the IEEE and other international bodies to align symposium standards with broader professional guidelines, ensuring that papers presented at EMC Europe carry weight and recognition within the global engineering community.
The continuity of the EMC Europe symposia relies on the careful stewardship of the Steering Committee across multiple years and changing leadership. Committee members serve staggered terms, allowing institutional knowledge to be preserved while fresh perspectives are regularly introduced. Meetings are held periodically to review progress on upcoming symposia, address any logistical or financial concerns, and plan for future editions. This structured yet flexible governance model has allowed EMC Europe to grow from a modest gathering into a respected international series. The committee's work, largely conducted behind the scenes, provides the stable foundation upon which each symposium's success is built, from the call for papers through to the final session.
