The 8th European Conference on Applications of Polar Dielectrics (ECAPD) will be held in Metz, France, from Tuesday September 5th to Friday September 8th, 2006.

ECAPD is the principal european and international forum where the latest research and technological advances in the field of polar dielectric materials are being presented and discussed.

The conference is the eighth in a series that started in Zürich (Switzerland) in 1988 and was followed by the editions in London (UK) in 1992, Bled (Slovenia) in 1996, Montreux (Switzerland) in 1998, Jurmala (Latvia) in 2000, Aveiro (Portugal) in 2002, and Liberec (Czech Republic) in 2004.

The objective of ECAPD’8 is to achieve international and interdisciplinary exchange of information and cooperation among researchers in academia, government laboratories, and industries, and to stimulate growth in the field of polar dielectric materials and applications.
