Welcome to European Microwave Week 2015

The 18th European Microwave Week (EuMW 2015) will be held in Paris from 6-11 September, 2015. The motto for 2015 is 'Freedom through Microwaves,' which addresses the concept of modern living, where microwave technologies are opening up new frontiers that will govern how individuals and objects communicate, sense and move. In particular, there is major interest in the development and evolution of the 'connected humans' concept, where there is potential for the microwave community to play a significant role. The opening session will feature two keynote lectures when Bruno Le Stradic from Airbus DS Space Systems will consider 'Space Antennas on Satellites, for Telecommunications and Earth Observation Missions: Past Evolutions and Future Trends.' He will be followed by Laurent Phalippou from Thales Alenia Space (TAS) who will present: '30 Years of Innovation in TAS Radar Altimetry Product Line for Earth Climate Monitoring.' Maintaining EuMW's commitment to education and the development of young engineers, two student competitions will take place during the week. uMW 2015 will also launch a unique e-platform initiative with the ambition of offering the RF and microwave community a job portal on a European scale.
