IEEE DEIS Conferences and Meetings

DEIS Fully Sponsored Conferences

DEIS sponsors a series of international conferences to provide a forum for members and non-members to participate and share research results, new developments, and practical experience in the Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation fields. Some conferences are held annually, while others are bi-annual or even every 3 years. The following is a listing of these events with a description, frequency, and next venue. Be sure to mark your calendars for the events of interest to you and look for announcements from the organizing committees. An up-to-date listing of conferences is also available at the DEIS website: http://ewh.ieee.org/soc/deis/.

(CEIDP) Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena: Annual research-oriented conference usually based in the Americas, providing an international forum for the discussion of current research on electrical insulation, dielectric phenomena and related topics.
