Invitation
The first ISEIM was held in Tokyo in 1995, followed byToyohashi, Himeji, Kitakyushu, Yokkaichi, Kyoto, Niigata, andToyohashi again, all in Japan. The 9th symposium will back toTokyo, the capital of Japan where serves as a host for 2020
Olympic and Paralympic Games. On the other hand, Tokyo
breathes with the tradition of four hundred years since the Edoperiod, and never stops and embraces the future.
The conference venue is Waseda University, located in
Shinjuku area, where Tokyo’s urban junctions are concentrated.
With several train lines running through it, this area is ideal not
only for academic meetings but also for shopping, sightseeing andleisure.

Main Topics
Main topics are followings, but not limited.
A Space charge, surface and interfacial phenomena
B Electrical properties of dielectrics and measurement and testing
techniques

Inuishi Memorial Lecture
The Inuishi Memorial Lecture Award is named after Prof. Y.
Inuishi who is one of the great pioneers in the research field ofdielectrics and electrical insulation in Japan. The symposium
opens every three years with the lecture and it is the keynote
session of the symposium.
The 2020 Inuishi Memorial
Lecture will be given by Emeritus Prof.
Leonard Dissado of University ofLeicester. Emeritus Prof. Dissado isvery well known as one of the leading
experts in the field of dielectrics andelectrical insulation for a long time,and has been a visiting professor at the University Pierre andMarie Curie in Paris, Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse, andNagoya University in Japan. Emeritus Prof. Dissado will give us
his Inuishi Memorial Lecture based on his long and richexperience.

Special sessions (under planning)
As the previous editions of ISEIM, ISEIM2020 will havesome special sessions such as: Analysis for polymeric insulating materials using advanced
numerical simulation.
 Evaluation of electrical insulating properties ofconverter-fed motors
 Demonstrative session on insulation diagnostic technology
for electric power apparatus
 Demonstrative session on high temperature PEA technology
 Electrical insulating properties of packaging materialsDetails will be announced on the conference web site later.

Registration Fees (tentative)

Important Dates
Shinjuku subcenter area with Mt. Fuji

SS (Industry) Session
This industry session had been held in the previous domestic
and international symposiums. They were received broad
attention very well and many Japanese companies in this field
want to participate in. The aim is to make opportunities forcompanies to introduce their developed and developing
technologies and products to attendee especially young
researchers such as university students and graduate students. It
must be a good opportunity to introduce your company.
