PIERS is sponsored by The Electromagnetics Academy (TEMA). Founded by the late Professor Jin Au Kong (1942-2008) of MIT in 1989, The Electromagnetics Academy is a non-profit organization registered in USA. TEMA is the umbrella organization for PIERS and PIER Journals. PIERS: PhotonIcs and Electromagnetics Research Symposium, also known as Progress In Electromagnetics Research Symposium, provides an international forum for reporting progress and recent advances in the modern development of electromagnetics, photonics and exciting applications. PIERS has become a major symposium in the area related to electromagnetics. PIER Journals are a family of journals supported by the proceeds of PIERS meetings.

The inaugural Japan-Germany Frontiers of Engineering Symposium will be held in Tokyo, Japan, and is a joint collaboration between the Engineering Academy of Japan (EAJ), the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH), the Volkswagen Foundation, DWIH Tokyo and acatech. Following the motto “Advanced Materials and Systems for Sustainable Society“, this symposium will aim to promote the overarching discussion from sustainable materials and systems to their practical applications and implementations in society.

To mark the European Materials Day 2025, the German Society for Materials Science (DGM) is organizing a virtual competition for outstanding master’s theses in materials science and engineering. This event offers young members of our community the opportunity to present their research results to a broad professional audience and to actively engage with the wider materials science network.

With its most extensive range from sensors to finished test results and the offer of technical solutions for measuring, testing and monitoring tasks in all industrial sectors, SENSOR+TEST is the state-of-the-art and most comprehensive trade show worldwide. It is a fixed date in the calendars of all application industries, as they require more and more sensor, measuring, and testing systems for the development and production of their innovative products.

ECNDT 2026, the European Conference on Non-Destructive Testing, is a prominent congress gathering experts, academics and industry professionals to share innovation, research and cutting-edge technologies for the future of inspections and quality control. ECNDT is EFNDT’s (European Federation for Non-Destrcutive Testing) premier international event. It features a comprehensive program showcasing the latest research and practical applications in NDT across various industries. The conference is accompanied by an exhibition highlighting the connection between research and industry equipment, in order to promote NDTs and facilitate networking and knowledge exchange among participants.
