Starting in 2014 the Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society (DEIS) is transitioning the Electrical Insulation Conference (EIC) from a biennial to an annual event. The 32nd edition of the EIC will take place in Philadelphia, PA, USA from June 8 to 11, 2014. This will officially mark the end of the International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (ISEI) which had previously alternated on a yearly basis with the EIC. Presentations (both oral and poster) and short courses will be offered on the practical applications of electrical insulation systems and materials for all types of electrical and electronic equipment. Exhibits are also planned where manufacturers of various types of insulating materials and test equipment will display their products to the assembled engineering and research experts who typically attend the EIC. Please see the call for abstracts and consider making your contribution to this world class meeting of electrical insulation experts. Stipends are available for ten student authors at the conference, please see the application form for details.
