We would like to cordially invite you to participate in the IEEE iWAT 2020 that will be held at Hotel InterContinental in Bucharest, Romania on February 25-28, 2020.

The submission deadline is October 4, 2019.

The International Workshop on Antenna Technology (iWAT) is an annual forum for the exchange of information on the research and development in innovative antenna technologies. It especially focuses on small antennas and applications of advanced and artificial materials to the antenna design.

At iWAT, all the oral presentations are delivered by invited prominent researchers and professors.

iWAT has a particular focus on posters by which authors have the opportunity to interact with leading researchers in their fields.

iWAT2020 is a continuation of a series of annual international antenna workshops held in Singapore (2005), White Plaines, USA (2006), Cambridge, UK (2007), Chiba, Japan (2008), Santa Monica, USA (2009), Lisbon, Portugal (2010), Hong Kong, PRC (2011), Tucson, USA (2012), Karlsruhe, Germany (2013), Sydney, Australia (2014), Seoul, Republic of Korea (2015), Cocoa Beach, Florida, USA (2016), Athens, Greece (2017), Nanjing, China (2018), and Miami, Florida, USA (2019).

Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions on their latest research activities. Student papers are strongly encouraged. There will be up to three awards each for “best conference paper” and “best student paper”, respectively, which will be presented in the poster session. Invited papers (oral presentation) will not participate in this paper competition contest.

The proceedings of the conference will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

IMPORTANT DATES:
Paper submission (2 - 4 pages): October 4, 2019
Notification of Acceptance: November 29, 2019

For further information, please visit the conference website at: www.iwat2020.org

We look forward to seeing you in Bucharest, Romania, in February 2020.
