Welcome message from the SIEm President

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you all to the 25th Riunione Nazionale di Elettromagnetismo (RiNEm).

This year’s RiNEm program is exceptionally rich and significant, featuring sixteen scientific sessions, including a poster session, three plenary sessions, two roundtables, and three special events. Designed to foster stimulating discussions, encourage the cross-fertilization of ideas, and broaden our perspectives, the program comprehensively explores the challenges and opportunities in both theoretical and applied electromagnetics research.

Among the highlights of the program are contributions from representatives of institutions and industries, as well as researchers from neighbouring scientific communities. A special session dedicated to “The Role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the Country System” will feature the President of ANVUR and the Presidents of national scientific societies in the field of Information Engineering. For the first time, they will convene to discuss the current role and prospects of ICT in Italy.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Professor Giuliano Manara, the local organizing committee he has coordinated, the XXV RiNEm organizing committee, and the SIEm Board of Directors for their exceptional dedication and hard work in making this event possible.

I believe that this year’s National Meeting fully embodies the original spirit of RiNEm, which is to serve as a vibrant hub for our scientific community, promoting open and inclusive dialogue in a welcoming environment that enriches all participants.

I extend a warm invitation to our young researchers and students, who represent the future of our scientific community. The 25th RiNem offers a unique opportunity for you to engage with leading experts in the field, learn from their experiences, and actively contribute your ideas to the scientific debate. Your presence is essential for the growth and advancement of our scientific community.

Best wishes for a fruitful and stimulating 25th RiNEm!

Welcome message from the RiNEm 2024 General Chair

On behalf of the Steering Committee and of the Organizing Committee, I am very glad to invite you to the 25^th edition of the “Riunione Nazionale di Elettromagnetismo (RiNEm)”, which will take place in the beautiful city of Viareggio (Lucca), from the 29^th of September to the 2^nd of October 2024.

Along with its wonderful beaches against the backdrop of the Apuan Alps, Viareggio offers amazing nightlife and shopping opportunities for its visitors. It is also the perfect location for calming beach days of relax, amid rolling hills and picturesque farmhouses. The main reasons for its fame are the luxurious beach resorts and the annual carnival event. This is why it is also known as “Città del Carnevale” (Carnival Town).

This year, RiNEm is organized by the University of Pisa Unit of SIEm (Italian Society on Electromagnetics). The symposium will be held at the conference centre “Principino Eventi”, located in the heart of Viareggio.

Viareggio is easily reachable by train, since all the trains running through the western costal line make a stop at Viareggio’s railway station.

Don’t miss the opportunity to visit Viareggio and its surroundings! I am looking forward to meeting you at the conference!
