iWEM started in Taipei in 2010 and was named as “International Conference on Applications of Electromagnetism and Student Innovation Awards” (2010 ICAE/SIA). The conference was renamed in 2011 as “IEEE International Workshop on Electromagnetics: Applications and Student Innovation Competition” (2011 IEEE iWEM). Supported by IEEE, this workshop series will be held in rotation in Taiwan, Mainland of China, Hong Kong, and Japan. It provides not only an international platform for scientists and engineers to exchange their ideas, but also a good venue for young scholars and students to demonstrate their innovative results. IEEE iWEM2016 is organized by Nanjing University of Science and Technology, co-organized by Southeast University and Nantong University, and co-sponsored by IEEE Nanjing Joint Chapter of APS/MTT/EMC. The venue of the workshop is in Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing, China.
