2 EuCAP 2014
The 8th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation
EuCAP 2014 is the 8th European Conference on Antennas & Propagation organised by the European
Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP) since 2006. The previous successful editions took
place in Nice, Edinburgh, Berlin, Barcelona, Rome, Prague and Gothenburg. The average attendance isaround 1000 delegates.
EuCAP is supported by the top level Associations in Antennas and Propagation, thus fostering truecollaboration at European and global levels. The conference combines a diversity of formats:・ Plenary sessions with invited keynote papers
・ Oral sessions (both convened and contributed)
・ Posters (presented in same central area as the exhibition)
・ Workshops, short courses
・ Exhibition (in large hall in the center of everything)2資料7-B
