Physical Review Journals Symposium

The conference organizers and the editors of Physical Review invite you to a Special Session dedicated to a few select works published recently in the Physical Review journals, within and beyond the traditional domain of metamaterials research.

In addition to the session, there will also be a meet-and-greet event with the Physical Review editors.

Confirmed Invited Speakers:

Physical Review Journals Awards

The Steering Commitee - represented by Profs. Filiberto Bilotti and Andrea Alù - is very proud to announce the 2019 Best Paper Awards and 2019 Best Poster Award, sponsored by APS Physics.

The Best Paper Awards have been created to recognize the scientific quality of research in three different domains (Applied/Theory/Experiments) whereas the Best Poster Award is not related to a specific domain.

All papers/posters presented at the conference, except for invited and plenary contributions, are eligible.

Each award includes a certificate and an honorarium of €200 to be shared among the authors. The winner will be announced during the conference closing ceremony.
