Previous symposia were held in Italy, Japan, Korea, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, Austria, USA and China. As in the past, the 2013 meeting will be focused on the application of electromagnetics and mechanics in a number of disciplines. Specifically, the symposium provides a forum for exchanging ideas and discussing recent developments in many diverse areas relating to applied electromagnetics and mechanics. The symposium emphasizes both basic science and early engineering developments in these interdisciplinary fields. The symposium also strongly encourages practical application of emerging technologies to problems of direct relevance to industries. Consequently, both theoretical as well as applied research topics are of interest.
