The 42nd Edition of the Distributed Doctoral School on Metamaterials will be held in virtual mode on March 8-12, 2021 in Rome, Italy. The School is part of the Distributed School on Metamaterials run by EUPROMETA, the Eudcation Department of the METAMORPHOSE VI AISBL.

The school will be focused on Future Wireless Systems enabled by Advanced and Intelligent Metasurfaces. 

The preliminary school program can be downloaded here.

NOTE: To overcome the issue of the different TIME-ZONES of the participants,
           the lectures will be recoded and made available offline for the week of the event.

Abstract

Wireless systems used for communication, sensing and localization are experiencing a strong revolution due to the strict requirements imposed by the new applications under development. Moreover, the advent of 5G communication system and the basis of a 6G architecture are also strongly contributing to identify new brektrough tecnologies that can improve the main KPIs. In this scenario, Advanced engineered surfaces (e.g. Metasurfaces) are making a revolution thanks to their engineerable and programmable surface properfies that can control and manipulate the wireless signals in the wireless environments. Metasurfaces may be employed to coat objects such as walls, furniture, and overall, any objects in indoor and outdoor environments.
The ambitious goal of this edition is to gather experts on metasurfaces and experts on wireless systems from both academic and big companies/SMEs. The course aims at presenting the recent advances in this new branch of electromagnetics, through the lectures given by eminent scientists and experts in the field. Overview of the state-of-the-art technologies, functionalities, and applications of metasurfaces for the development of future wireless systems will be presented. We expect the participation of both academic and industrial researchers, as well as doctoral students.
