Presentation
The exposure of populations to electromagnetic fields (EMF) is an issue of growing societal importance today, which motivates a number of political, regulatory, technical and scientific developments around the world. This is particularly true of wireless networks of all kinds, which penetrate our lives closer and closer including in-home and on-body areas. Various solutions may be sought in order to reduce the exposure of humans to EMF by these networks in the coming years, while maintaining the enormous benefits offered by these networks in everyone's life.The training school will broadly cover the main issues of EMF exposure by wireless networks. It is targeted towards researchers and R&D engineers feeling concern in these aspects, coming from academia, Telecom operators, techno-providers or even governmental institutions having an interest in the exposure of populations to EMF. The instructors are high level experts deeply involved in R&D on EMF exposure.
The school is jointly organized by the European FP7 project LEXNET and the European COST Action IC1004 and is technically sponsored by URSI-France. It is hosted by Telecom ParisTech.

Registration:
The registration fees are 150 €, to be paid in cash on arrival or with a bank check (for French participants). They cover the documents provided, coffee breaks, three lunches and the social event.
Registration is
done through the training school web site, until
April 4th.
Grants for registered
IC1004 members
if you are a participant from a
registered IC1004 institution and you
are a PhD student or Early Stage Researcher (a researcher in the start
phase of
their career with at least the PhD and up to 8 years of experience
after the
PhD), you can apply for up to a 400 euros travel
grant*. To this aim, send
to secretary@ic1004.org until
March 21 an email with subject
"Paris TS - Application for a grant" and include in the body of the
email:
-
Name,
Family Name
- Institution
- Whether
you are PhD student and/or ESR
- Country of the institution
The selection will be based on a first coming first served base and on the following priorities:
2- while grants available, ESRs from COST Country Institutions
3- while grants available, Other applicants
* limited to the registration fees for attendees having their normal residence in Paris area.
Social event
A friendly dinner will take place in Paris on the evening of April 16 at the restaurant Moulin Vert 34 bis rue des plantes, 75014 Paris (Métro Alesia, Line 4)
Travel and accommodation
Instructions
on how to arrive at the TS location are indicated
here.
This page also contains suggestions for nearby hotels. Another
low-cost possibility can be found here.
ECTS credits
The
Summer School participants will be provided with an
attendance certificate. Students requiring validation of the
ECTS credits
following their attendance of the summer school (possibly
including the poster
session participation) should check with their home
institution about the
required validation criteria ahead of the event and get in touch with
the
organizers to arrange a more formal type of examination
if needed. Attendees requiring a certificate for ECTS
credits will
have to take a written test after the school. The test will
consist in
writing a report of the courses. This document (3 to 5 pages)
should
contain:
- a
summary of four among the set of lectures (the choice is left to the
student);
-
a
short discussion about how part or all these results can be used or
applied by
the student in the
context of his/her own research work, if applicable.
The
report should be submitted by email within the two weeks following the
school,
and will be given a grade (pass/fail) by the organizers.
