LAPC 2016 - 2016 Loughborough Antennas & Propagation Conference (LAPC)

2016 Loughborough Antennas & Propagation Conference (LAPC)
14th and 15th November 2016, Loughborough, UK
Paper submission deadline 30th May 2016
We invite you to submit original research papers for consideration for presentation at LAPC 2016, one of the largest annual European conferences dedicated to the fields of Antennas and Propagation. Now holding its twelfth event, LAPC has a truly global reach; more than half our papers in 2015 came from outside the UK and we regularly attract 200 to 250 participants each year. LAPC 2016 is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society and the Institution of Engineering and Technology. LAPC 2016 will be held at the award-winning 4-star Burleigh Court Hotel located centrally in the UK, just a 10 minute drive from the East Midlands Airport. LAPC 2016 provides a convenient, comfortable and friendly environment for networking and offers a productive opportunity for increasing research impact and mobility. A range of leading companies associated with the AP fields will also be there showcasing cutting edge technology, modeling software and materials.
