The “2013 URSI Commission B, International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory”(EMTS 2013) was held in Hiroshima, Japan, from May 20 to 24, 2013. It was organizedby Commission B (Fields and Waves) of the International Union of Radio Science(URSI) and the Electronics Society of The Institute of Electronics, Information andCommunication Engineers (IEICE). EMTS 2013 is the 21st event in a triennial series ofinternational symposia with a long history since 1953, and this is the first time held inJapan.
We have received 338 papers and accepted 322 papers for presentation by theTechnical Program Committee. Also 24 Young Scientist Award (YSA) papers wereselected.
Main symposium venue was the International Conference Center Hiroshima (ICCH),
located in Peace Memorial Park, where we had Opening Reception, Opening Ceremony,
all Technical (oral and poster) Sessions, Technical Exhibitions, and Plenary Talks, aswell as Commission B Business Meetings.
On the third day, the venue was moved to Aki Grand Hotel at Miyajima-guchi, andtwo Plenary Talks and Poster Presentations by YSA awardees were given. After thesesessions, registrants have enjoyed a late-afternoon Miyajima-island visit, followed bythe Banquet at the ANA Crowne Plaza Hiroshima Hotel.
Totally 368 persons including 28 accompany persons from 31 countries have attended
54 Technical Sessions and 5 invited Plenary Talks:

Plenary Talk 1: (12:00-12:40, May 21, 2013)"Meta-Electromagnetics and Meta-Optics," by Prof. Nader Engheta (University ofPennsylvania).
Plenary Talk 2: (10:20-11:00, May 22, 2013)"Assessment of Possible Health Risks of Electro-Magnetic Field Exposures due toEmerging

"Recent Advances in Leaky-Wave Antennas," by Prof. David R. Jackson (University ofHouston).
Also special Technical Visit to Mazda Museum located in Mazda Motor Corporation
Head Office was held.
In conjunction with this symposium, the “URSI Commission B School for YoungScientists” was organized for the first time. This one-day school was held on May 20 atICCH, prior to the symposium, and is sponsored jointly by URSI Commission B and theEMTS 2013 Local Organizing Committee. In the School, two lectures was delivered by
two leading scientists in the Commission B community.
In the morning, the lecture entitled as "The Method of Moments (MoM) Applied toProblems in Electromagnetic Scattering, Radiation, and Guided Waves," was given byProfessor Donald R. Wilton (Dept. of ECE, University of Houston, USA). After the lunch,
the second lecture entitled as "A Summary of Asymptotic High Frequency (HF) Methods
for Solving Electromagnetic (EM) Wave Problems," was given by Professor Prabhakar H.
Pathak (Dept. of ECE, The Ohio State University ElectroScience Lab., USA).
50 young scientists attended this school and learned the fundamentals and future
directions in the area of electromagnetic theory from these lectures.
