The study of electrets and their related phenomena holds a prominent position at the intersection of fundamental scientific inquiry and technological advancement. The remarkable success of electret applications in industries has spurred exploration into new frontiers like energy harvesting, bioelectrical stimulation, and the development of soft transducers. The IEEE International Symposium on Electrets (ISE) serves as the leading event for the field, and brings together scientists, engineers, and young researchers from across the globe. Organized by the IEEE Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society, the ISE provides a unique platform for interdisciplinary exchange on the latest advancements in electret research, development, and applications.
The conference program is focused on furthering our understanding, implementation and practical application of electrets. The ISE provides a diverse range of opportunities for attendees to share their research and development progress, including technical papers and workshops. Since ISE12 in 2005, the Bernhard Gross Memorial Lecture is presented by a person who, in the opinion of the Selection Committee has established an international reputation for sustained high quality research work in the ISE research field. In addition, the Dilip Das-Gupta awards for the best oral and poster presentation of a young scientist are awarded during the symposium.
Whether you're an electrical engineer, materials scientist, or a researcher in condensed matter physics and chemistry, the ISE is a valuable forum for in-depth discussions, collaboration, and connection with peers.
