ICEC2006/Sendai

The 23rd International Conference on Electrical Contacts will be held June 6-9, 2006 at Sendai International Center, Sendai, Japan.

The first ICEC was organized by Dr. Ragnar Holm and Prof. R. E. Armington, and held in Main University, 1961. The ICEC was held in Japan twice.

The purpose of the ICEC2006/Sendai is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing the latest development and problems in the field of Electrical Contacts and the related area, and to promote an exchange of science and technical knowledge of specialists from all over the world.
