@It is my great pleasure to have an opportunity of introducing to you, all general readers of IEICE Global Plaza, the academic activities in the g2013 URSI Commission B, International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theoryh (EMTS 2013) which was held in Hiroshima, Japan, on May 20-24, 2013. It was organized by Commission B (Fields and Waves) of International Union of Radio Science (URSI) and IEICE Electronics Society (IEICE-ES). EMTS 2013 is the 21st event in a triennial series of international symposia with a long history since 1953, and this is the first EMTS which was held in Japan. As a result of the global campaign of invitation by the members of Technical Committee of EMTS in IEICE over the past longer than 20 years, we had an honorable chance to host the historical event of URSI EMTS. I will also refer to the future URSI activities supporting young radio engineers in Asia. Who Manages EMTS? @EMTS has internationally organized Technical Advisory Board under the Chair of Commission B (called eB-TABf) as the standing Technical Program Committee for the series of EMTS. Prof. Giuliano Manara (Pisa Univ.) serves as the current Chair.
