Summary

The Technical Committee on Electromagnetic Theory (EMT) is jointly established in the Institute ofElectronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE), and in the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan (IEEJ), in order to maintain the qualified position of Japan in the field of the electromagnetic theory, by promoting the collaboration with foreigners and by bringing up the young Japanesecolleagues who would contribute to the global activation of the electromagnetic society.
The technical committee regularly holds the annual Electromagnetics Theory Symposium for thepast 37 years. The scope of the symposium includes;• Fundamental theory of electromagnetics (including relativistic theory, quantum electrodynamics,etc.)2• Analysis theory of electromagnetic fields• Numerical solutions and modeling of electromagnetic fields• Simulation techniques of electromagnetic fields• Scattering and diffraction of electromagnetic waves• Interaction of electromagnetic fields with media (including laser, plasma, random media, etc.)• Nonlinear problems• Inverse problem, inverse scattering• Electromagnetic environment• Electromagnetic effect on biological systems• Other related fields.
