European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference 2007 (Formerly GAAS®)

Munich, 8-10 October2007

The second European Microwave Integrated Circuits (EuMIC) Conference will be held from 8 to 10 October 2007 in Munich, Germany, as part of European Microwave Week. This conference has evolved from the highly successful GAAS® symposia and is now organised jointly by GAAS Association and EuMA. This microwave integrated circuits conference will continue to help make European Microwave Week the largest event in Europe related to RF microelectronics.

The development of RF and microwave devices has revolutionised today’s telecommunication and sensor systems. UMTS, LMDS, and other systems working in the microwave and millimetre-wave range will facilitate totally new services. In such a swiftly changing environment, it is essential to be informed about current state-of-the-art technology, especially the latest developments.

EuMIC will continue as one of the leading conferences for RF-ICs and their applications in Europe, and therefore the ideal event to keep up to date with the latest achievements in the field. The aim of the conference is to promote the discussion of recent developments and trends, and encourage the exchange of scientific and technical information on physical fundamentals, material technology, process development and technology, physics-based and empirical-behavioural modelling of microwave and opto-electronic active devices, design of monolithic ICs based on GaAs, InP, SiGe, GaN, SiC and other semiconductor materials. Special emphasis will be given to applications covering the field of telecommunications (RF, microwave and optical), automotive, sensors, MEMS, military and space, as well as emerging technologies such as wide band gap semiconductors.

Over 100 papers will be presented with contributions from Europe, Asia and USA. Papers and posters will be made available on CD-ROM in the Conference Proceedings. Lively industrial panel sessions will also be organised. Keynote speakers from industry and the scientific community will present invited papers on topics of current importance. Tailored Short Courses and Workshops will complement the programme.

The Technical Programme Committee of EuMIC and the General Assembly of the European Microwave Association will award the EuMIC Prize of €3,000 to the author(s) of the best contributed paper to the EuMIC 2007.

The EuMIC Technical Programme Committee and the General Assembly of the European Microwave Association will award the Young Engineer Prize of €2,000 to a young engineer or researcher who has presented an outstanding paper at the European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference.To be eligible candidates must be (1) aged 30 or younger at the date of the award, (2) the first author of the paper, (3) the presenter either of an oral or poster session. The number of co-authors should not exceed three. Applicants must state the purpose to which the prize will be put. The successful applicant may use part of the prize to fund attendance at the following year's European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference.

Reduced fees are implemented for students as well as senior persons aged 65 years or more. The European Microwave Association will also provide up to four student grants consisting of €500 plus the reduced registration fee for EuMIC. Applications should be sent to the EuMIC Chairman by 6 July 2007. The European Microwave Association will also provide a number of grants for delegates coming from NIS countries or Russia. The value of the grants is €500 plus the reduced registration fee for EuMIC. Applications should be sent to the EuMW General Chairman by 6 July 2007.
