The 27th edition of the European Microwave Week (EuMW 2024) will take place in Paris, France, and continues the annual series of highly successful microwave events that started back in 1998. EuMW 2024 will take place 22 – 27 September and comprises three co-located conferences: European Microwave Conference (EuMC), European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference (EuMIC) and European Radar Conference (EuRAD). In addition, EuMW 2024 includes the Defense, Security and Space Forum, Automotive Forum, 5G to 6G Forum, plus an extensive exhibition. EuMW 2024 provides the opportunity to participate in conferences, workshops, short courses and special events such as Women in Microwave Engineering. “Waves Connecting Europe” is the slogan for 2024 to represent new possibilities for individuals and objects to communicate, sense and move together. The venue for EuMW 2024 is the Paris Convention Centre in Paris and is easy to reach from two international airports – Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) and Orly Airport (ORY) – with a wide range of public transport options available to travel to and from the airports: shuttle buses, metro (metro station: Porte de Versailles – Parc des Expositions) and railway connections (RER).

The EuMC is Europe’s largest conference dedicated to microwave, mmWave and terahertz devices, systems and technologies and will give you opportunities to share and discuss your recent findings with peers and experts across this region of the spectrum. The conference is being held 24 – 26 September and it represents the main event in the EuMW. A broad range of high frequency related topics, from materials and technologies to integrated circuits, systems and applications will be addressed in all their aspects: theory, simulation, design and measurement. Examples include the latest developments of filters and passive components, modeling and design of RF MEMS and microsystems, high frequency and high data rate microwave photonics, highly stable and ultra-low noise microwave and mmWave sources, new linearization techniques, 6G, IoT and the impact of new packaging technologies on development applications. The topic “Sustainability and environmental impact” has been added this year, as the conference is aiming in addressing both the use of RF devices to enhance the sustainability of our societies, as well as investigating the environmental impact of RF technologies and identifying long-term mitigation measures.

The 19th EuMIC will be held as part of the European Microwave Week 2024. Initiated by the GAAS® Association in 1990 and renamed in 2006, the conference is being held 23 – 24 September. The EuMIC conference is jointly organized by the GAAS® Association and EuMA and is the premier European technical conference for all topics ranging from RF, microwave and terahertz electronics over to ultra-fast mixed signal circuits and systems to optoelectronics. Established as the key contributor to the success of the overall EuMW, the EuMIC conference is the largest scientific event in Europe related to microwave ICs.

The 21st EuRAD will be held 25 – 27 September, also part of EuMW 2024. This radar conference is the major European event for the present status and the future trends in the field of radar research, technology, system design and applications. The EuRAD conference will bring together a global network of researchers, practitioners and institutes working on topics related to the following four areas of focus: Radar Sub-systems and Phenomenology, Radar Signal and Data Processing, Radar Architecture and Systems and Radar Applications.

The Defense, Security and Space Forum will cover “How Future Defense Strategies are Driving Technological Advancements from Devices to Systems” and takes place Wednesday, 25 September from 11:20 – 17:40. The 5G to 6G Forum covers “Innovations, Challenges, and Roadmap – An Electronics Perspective” and takes place Thursday, 21 September from 08:45 – 18:20. The Automotive Forum covers imaging radars and antenna technology taking place on Monday, 23 September from 08:30 – 17:50.

The annual European Microwave Exhibition, which is by far the largest RF and microwave trade show in Europe, is held in conjunction with the conferences. The exhibition also includes a series of technical seminars and exhibitor workshops describing commercial products and processes. The European Microwave Exhibition takes place 24 – 26 September with more than 300 exhibiting organizations occupying more than 4,000 square meters of space. The exhibition offers its exhibitors an unrivaled opportunity to see new products and services offered by leading companies in the RF and microwave industry. It also offers a forum for discussing trends and exchanging scientific and technical information with industry experts.

Come join us at the heart of the ‘ville lumière,’ Paris and enjoy the European Microwave Week. Join us in Paris to discover innovations and new paradigms for the microwave community as we look toward Horizon 2030.
