The IEEE Region 8 Conference EUROCON has very famous history. The first Eurocon was in 1971 in Lausanne, Switzerland. Then after 12 years brake new renovated biennale EUROCON started in 2001:

* EUROCON2001: July 2001, Bratislava, Slovakia
* EUROCON2003: September 2003, Ljubljana, Slovenia
* EUROCON2005: November 2005, Belgrade, Serbia & Montenegro
* EUROCON2007: September 2007, Warsaw, Poland

The next forthcoming EUROCON2009 will take place in St. Petersburg, Russia. This time it will be devoted to the 150 anniversary of Alexander Popov, which was the first to openly demonstrate radio signals transmitting and receiving on May 7, 1895. The Conference venue will be Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University â??LETIâ?? which was fortunate to have Alexander Popov as the first elected Director. However Alexander Popov contributed also to other areas of electrophysics and electromechanics. Hence our Eurocon2009 topics represent all modern trends and directions in the field of Electrical Engineering including historical and educational aspects.

Besides the Conference will be the good place to meet old friends and new colleagues, to discuss modern problems and explore the splendid Saint Petersburg â?? â??Venice of Northâ??, city of white nights, 60 canals and rivers, 500 bridges, 120 Universities, 200 Museums and other beautiful palaces and monuments.
