EMC Europe History

EMC Europe, the leading International Symposium on electromagnetic compatibility in Europe, continues the long tradition of independent regular international Symposia on EMC organized in Europe in: Wroclaw (20 editions since 1972) and Zurich (20 editions since 1973) as well as European Symposia which were organized in Rome (since 1994) and then in Brugge, Sorrento, Eindhoven, Barcelona and Hamburg. Each of those three symposia was running every second year.

International Wroclaw Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility was the oldest European conference dealing with EMC subject. Since the beginning all meetings have been taking place in Wroclaw, Poland every even year. They were a chance for discussion and experience exchange between “the West and the East”, and in time they led to integration of the European scientific community.

In 2010 EMC research community met in Wroclaw for the 20th time to open a new chapter in the EMC Conference history in Europe. A real integration of the European countries and electromagnetic compatibility research community has taken place. After 38 years, the Wroclaw Symposium was completing its mission and three major International EMC conferences organized in Europe had been merged into EMC Europe – the International Symposium and Exhibition on Electromagnetic Compatibility. EMC Europe is organized annually in one of the European cities with EMC scientific center to provide an international forum for the exchange of technical information on EMC.

The Joint EMC Europe Symposia were organized in Wroclaw (2010, 2016), York (2011), Rome (2012, 2020 – virtual), Bruges (2013), Gothenburg (2014, 2022), Dresden (2015), Angers (2017), Amsterdam (2018), Barcelona (2019), Glasgow (2021 – virtual), Krakow (2023), Bruges (2024) and Paris (2025). Dresden and Glasgow events were Joint Symposia of the IEEE International Symposium on EMC and EMC Europe Symposium.

In 2025, you are kindly invited to contribute and attend Europe’s biggest EMC dedicated conference in Prague.
