The papers will be submitted to the IEEEXplore and IEEE digital library.

The First National EMC Conference was held at Dogus University between Sep 14-16, 2011. The two keynotes were given by Prof. Christos Christopoulos and Prof. Pyotr YA. Ufimtsev. They also had half-day short courses entitled Practical Issues in EMC Design and Fundamentals of Physical Theory of Diffraction, respectively. Aspects from design to market were discussed in nearly a hundred papers. The 2nd National EMC Conference was held at Isik University between Sep 9-11, 2013. In addition to more than 120 papers in regular sessions, Marcus Schicks from EM Software & Systems, Germany, Timothy Horacek from TESEQ, Switzerland, Uwe Flor from EM TEST, USA, Richard Weininger from Frankonia EMC, Germany, and Adrian Matoi from EM TEST, USA were the invited speakers.

EMC Türkiye 2015, The 3rd International EMC Conference was held at Maslak Campus of Isik University between Sep 2-4, 2015 The two keynote speeches, entitled “EMC/EMI Effects in EM Systems and Their Mitigation: Three Case Examples” and “EM Modeling of Artificial Magnetic Conductors” were given by Dr. Raj Mittra (from Pennsylvania State University, USA) and Dr. Ahmed Kishk (from Concordia University, Canada), respectively. Extended versions of the selected papers were published in the special May 2016 issue entitled “Challenges in RF and Microwave Defense Engineering” of Wiley journal RF and Microwave Computer Aided Engineering (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mmce.v26.4/issuetoc).

EMC Türkiye 2017, The 4th International EMC Conference was held at Middle East Technical University (METU) between Sep 24-27, 2017 and devoted to all aspects of EMC, from design to market, including EMC Measurements, EMC Management and Standards, Chip/ Package/PCB/Cables EMC, Immunity & Susceptibility, ESD & Transients, Shielding/Absorbing Materials, EMF Safety & Biomedical issues, Power System EMC, Power Electronics & Vehicles, with the emphasize on Automotive and Defense EMC issues. There were four short courses presented by Dr. Marco Klingler, from PSA Groupe (Peugeot - Citroen), France, Dr. Sudhakar Rao, from Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems, USA, Dr. Erdem Akpinar from ASELSAN, Ankara, and Garth D’Abreu from ETS-LINDGREN.
