NATO Advanced Research Workshop
Metamaterials for Secure Information and Communication Technologies

7-10 May, 2008

Location

Marrakesh – Morocco

Metamaterials represent a truly multidisciplinary research area spanning the bridge from basic theoretical and experimental research at universities to industrial production of a diverse spectrum of electrical, microwave, infrared and optical materials and devices.

META’08 will cover a broad scope of topics ranging from the fundamental electromagnetic theory of metamaterials and related materials and structures to novel types of microwave and optical devices and components. Special attention will be given to applications of these innovative materials in secure wireless and optical communication systems, antennas, high-speed circuits, optical sensing, nanoscale imaging and cloaking.

META'08 program will include :

• Keynote lectures
• Invited talks
• Contributed oral and poster presentations
• Interactive round tables

META'08 topics include, but are not limited to:

• Fundamental and applied aspects of waves in structured, periodic and disordered metamaterials.
• Electromagnetic properties of complex materials including photonic and plasmonic materials, negative-index materials, frequency selective surfaces, high impedance structures and novel composites with unusual electromagnetic properties.
• Modelling, fabrication and characterization of complex materials and surfaces.
• Metamaterials and periodic structures technologies and applications.
