The first European Microwave Integrated Circuits (EuMIC) Conference has been held from 10 to 13 September 2006 in Manchester, UK, as part of European Microwave Week. This new conference has evolved from the highly successful GAAS® symposium, maintaining the excellent traditions and atmosphere of the former GAAS® conference within the professional administration of European Microwave Week. EuMIC is held in cooperation between EuMA and the GAAS Association.

This microwave circuits conference will continue to help make European Microwave Week the largest event in Europe related to RF microelectronics.

The development of RF and microwave devices has revolutionised today’s telecommunication and sensor systems. UMTS, LMDS, and other systems working in the microwave and millimetre-wave range will facilitate totally new services. In such a swiftly changing environment, it is essental to be informed about current state-of-the-art technology, especially the latest developments. EuMIC will continue from GAAS® as one of the leading conferences for RFICs and their applications in Europe, and therefore the ideal event to keep up to date with the latest achievements in the field. The aim of the conference is to promote the discussion of recent developments and trends, and encourage the exchange of scientific and technical information on physical fundamentals, material technology, process development and technology, physics-based and empirical-behavioural modelling of microwave and opto-electronic active devices, design of monolithic ICs based on GaAs, InP, SiGe, GaN, SiC and other semiconductor materials. Special emphasis will be given to applications covering the field of telecommunications (RF, microwave and optical), automotive, sensors, MEMS, military and space, as well as emerging technologies such as wide band gap semiconductors.
