16th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP)
On behalf of the Conference Organizing Committee, it is my pleasure to invite you to EuCAP 2022, Europe’s flagship conference on antennas and propagation, which will take place in Madrid from March 27th to April 1st. Madrid is the capital and most populated city of Spain, with more than 3 million people, and its hotel facilities are among the best in Europe. Madrid hosts more than fifteen universities and it is a hub of entrepreneurial innovation and technology, with branches of the most important companies in the areas of aerospace industry and communications.The host country, Spain, has a strong antennas and propagation community in both academia and industry and, Madrid, as the capital of Spain, hosts the main branches of the high-tech companies in Spain. In radiofrequency and Aero spatial sectors, Airbus, Thales Alenia, INDRA, SENER among others have their offices in Madrid metropolitan area, working more than two hundred antenna engineers in those companies. The cellular Spanish companies (Telefonica, Vodafone, Orange among others) and the telecommunications equipment vendors have also their headquarters in this area. Therefore, EuCAP 2022 will be a unique place to strengthen the link between the scientific antennas and propagation communities in areas related to 5G, space applications, or future communication systems.Madrid is accessible from Europe, America and Africa with excellent connections by air with the main cities of the world. The cultural links with Latin America will increase the long-term relations between EuCAP and Latin America researchers in the antenna and propagation field. “Palacio Municipal de Congresos” Convention Centre will host EuCAP 2022. This Convention has a total of 10,373 square meters of exhibition areas, distributed along the various floors of the building. There are also two auditoriums, an all-purpose hall with an area of 2,200 m2, and thirty rooms and halls with different capacities. Also, it is very well connected by metro to downtown and airport (only 10 minutes by metro). I invite all of you to come to Madrid, to attend the technical activities of EuCAP 2022, but also to spend some days to enjoy Madrid culture, with some of the most important galleries in the world, as the Museums of Prado, “Reina Sofia” or Thyssen-Bornemisza, and, of course, Madrid day and night live.I very much look forward to welcoming you in the amazing city of Madrid for EuCAP 2022.
