Abstract:
The Sixth International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics - Metamaterials 2012, will comprise a 4-day Conference (17-20 September), and a 2-day Doctoral School (21-22 September). Organized by the Metamorphose Virtual Institute (www.metamorphose-vi.org) and hosted by the National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics, ITMO (www.en.ifmo.ru), and St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University "LETI", ETU (www.eltech.ru), this event continues the successful series of Metamaterials Congresses 2007 - 2011. The Congress will provide a unique forum to share the latest results of the metamaterials research in Europe and worldwide and bring together the engineering, physics, and material science communities working in the field of artificial electromagnetic materials and their applications at microwaves, millimeter waves, terahertz, and optical frequencies.
