Set to run from November 13 to 17 at St. Regis Abu Dhabi, the conference marks the first high-profile event DERC is hosting after the launch of its prequalification testing facility at Tawazun Industrial Park in Abu Dhabi dedicated to a specific high-energy physics domain.

All eyes will be trained on the Best Student Paper Award (BSPA), with award recipients receiving a certificate and a cash prize of US$500.
Likewise, the Young Scientist Award (YSA) recognizes a young researcher under 35 who has made innovative contributions in fields related to HPEM. Researchers keen to participate in the contest can nominate themselves during the submission process.

Highlighting the significance of the conference for the TII ecosystem and for Abu Dhabi as well, Dr. Kasmi said: “The GLOBALEM conference promises to be a game changer for the region. High Power Electromagnetics is one of those hot areas in focus today for us at DERC, given the varied number of applications and sectors it straddles – from your everyday generators, motors, and transformers, to maglev trains, and astronomy to health care and everything in between. We are even focusing on new innovations that can treat certain types of cancer. Being able to convene so many global experts in Abu Dhabi is unprecedented and is a big deal for TII and the region.”
