Welcome to EuCAP 2012 in Prague - 26-30 March 2012

EuCAP 2012 is over

Ladies and gentlemen,

Thank you very much for your participation in EuCAP 2012 in Prague. The conference has brought a lot of new scientific information from the antenna and propagation topics with support of measurement. Interesting exhibition, workshops including CARE project, propagation group inaugural meeting and this year also industrial papers enriched the conference.

Thank you for your trust in choosing our team as organizer of such a big event in Prague. , For this part of the year, we were in favour of unexceptionally good weather, which is not usual weather in March in Czech Republic and which also helped to improve the positive thinking of participants.

The conference is over, but we are going to put in IEEExplore database all the presented contributions. Also the conference website is still open and we will publish interesting photos and results of the statistics here in few weeks. Thank you very much for nice words and e-mails sent after the end of the conference that warmed up our hearts. During the preparations of EuCAP 2012, we learned that there is still a lot of possible things to be improved in the next editions. We will pass our experiences to the organizers of the new issue – EuCAP 2013 in Gothenburg – and we wish good luck to prof. Kildal and his team.

With kind regards
