This is to cordially invite you to participate in the 38th Progress in
Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS) to be held on 22-25 May, 2017 in
St Petersburg, Russia.

The submission deadline of one-page abstract has been extended to 20 January
2017. For this PIERS 2017 St Petersburg, we now have 1200 submitted
abstracts by 20 December, 2016.
On-Line-Submission via web page is strongly recommended.

============================
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 (12-15 August) 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. Since the Stockholm
event, PIERS has become a big conference where microwave and lightwave
communities meet. Both PIERS 2014 Guangzhou (25-28 August), PIERS 2015
Prague (6-9 July) and PIERS 2016 Shanghai (8-11 August) have over 2000 paper
submissions and about 1400 registered/paid participants.
PIERS Proceedings since 2016 will be submitted for archival in IEEE Xplore.
Author of an accepted abstract is invited to (but is not required to) submit
an extended paper of 2 - 8 pages.
=== Best Student Paper Awards ============
To encourage more students to present their good research results in PIERS,
Best Student Papers will be awarded after their presentation in each PIERS.
About 5 winners will be selected by a special committee. Each winner will
receive 500 USD cash award and a banquet ticket to attend the Award
Ceremony. Besides a winner (500 USD cash award), each subcommittee will also
have 1-2 runner-ups for honorable mention. Each of them will receive a
banquet ticket to attend the Award Ceremony.

=== Focus Sessions ============
In PIERS 2017 St Petersburg, 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%.
PIERS 2017 in St Petersburg has subcommittees for the following five
sub-conference (SC) topics:
SC 1. Computational Electromagnetics, Electromagnetic Compatibility,
Scattering and Electromagnetic Theory
SC 2. Metamaterials, Plamonics and Complex Media
SC 3. Optics and Photonics
SC 4. Antennas and Microwave Technologies
SC 5. Remote Sensing, Inverse Problems, Imaging, Radar and Sensing
