============================
Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS) provides an
international forum since 1989 for reporting progress and recent advances in
the whole electromagnetic spectrum. Topics include radiation, propagation,
diffraction, scattering, guidance, resonance, power, energy and force
issues, and all other modern developments, with frequencies covering the
entire electromagnetic wave spectrum (including microwave and lightwave, and
beyond).
PIERS 2013 Stockholm (August 12-15) was a great success with 1650 paper
submissions and 1135 registered/paid participants from 67 countries and
many top-notch keynote/invited speakers of the areas.

PIERS 2014 Guangzhou (August 25-28) was another success with 2040 paper
submissions and 1399 registered/paid participants from 50 countries. There
were 49 plenary/keynote/Tutorial talks and over 350 invited talks.

=== Best Student Paper Awards ============
To encourage more students to present their good research results in PIERS,
4-5 Best Student Papers will be awarded after their presentations in PIERS
2015 Prague. Each winner will receive 500 USD cash award and a banquet
ticket to attend the Award Ceremony.
=== Focus Sessions ============
In PIERS 2015 Prague, a dozen of Focus Sessions will also be planned. Each
focus session should be focused on a specific hot topic that must be timely
and reflect the future trends or the latest scientific advances in the area.
The leadership of the conference will select the topics of focus sessions
and the responsible organizers. The organizers of a focus sessions should be
active/leading scientists of the area, and should make the best effort to
ensure the high quality of the session by inviting high-profile keynote
speakers and excellent invited speakers, etc. Some contributed oral talks
are encouraged, however, quality must be very well controlled with a typical
acceptance ratio of less than 50%.
