19^th SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)

– Microwaves, Terahertz, and Optics: Building Smart Systems –

24-27 October 2021

Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil

Sponsor: Brazilian Microwave and Optoelectronic Society (SBMO)

IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques (IEEE MTT-S)

The International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference is a biennial forum that happens regularly since 1985, sponsored by the Brazilian Microwave and Optoelectronics Society (SBMO) and the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S). The event is organized by the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG), Federal University of Ceará (UFC), and Federal Institute of Ceará (IFCe). The conference goal is providing an international and interdisciplinary forum for sharing experience and discussing the state-of-the-art of the following but not limited topics: radio/microwave, photonic/optics/applied electromagnetics and so on.

Due to Covid-19 Pandemic situation, for the first time since its creation, IMOC 2021 was turned into an online virtual conference. The organizing committee will make use of an online platform that intends to give participants the feeling and experience as if they were in Fortaleza, by means of using a 3D platform.

As an online conference, it is highly recommended to stimulate the participation of students, researchers, professionals, and partners, by making a high-level conference possible at reduced costs, including different inscriptions categories.

As a potential opportunity to overcome physical distances, but to forge closer professional boundaries and to change professional experiences, in this conference there will be a whole day dedicated to workshops and industry demonstration, as well as activities such as Young Professionals and Women in Microwave.

Furthermore, papers properly presented in the conference will be published at the IEEEXplore and those papers high scored will be invited to submit an extended version to peer reviewed journals, such as IET MAP, JMOe, WPT and others.
