The EMD'2017 Con­fe­ren­ce is a con­ti­nu­ation of the se­ries of sym­po­sia concer­ning Ove­rvol­ta­ges in Power Electro­nics and Com­pu­ter Sys­tems, which were star­ted in 1990. Since then these con­fe­ren­ces took place in Bia­ły­stok and Hołny Me­je­ra (Po­land), Vil­nius, Kau­nas, Du­bin­giai and Pa­lan­ga (Li­thu­ania).

XXIV In­ter­na­tio­nal Con­fe­ren­ce on Elec­tro­ma­gne­tic Di­stur­ban­ces will be held in Bia­ly­stok on 20−22 Sep­tem­ber 2017, in the bu­il­ding of Fa­cul­ty of Elec­tri­cal En­gi­ne­ering of Bia­ly­stok Uni­ver­si­ty of Tech­no­lo­gy.

Pro­tec­tion against elec­tro­mag­netic dis­tur­bances, which may cause mal­func­tion, fail­ure, or per­ma­nent degra­da­tion of elec­tronic and elec­tric de­vices or sys­tems is crit­i­cal, es­pe­cially from cost-ef­fec­tive per­spec­tive. This fact as well as the evo­lu­tion of elec­tronic tech­nol­ogy caused im­petu­ous ne­ces­sity for ex­ten­sion of the EMD con­fer­ence scope with sev­eral new top­ics.

The aim of the EMD Con­fer­ence is to cre­ate a forum for pre­sen­ta­tion and dis­cus­sion con­cern­ing sources of electro­magnetic dis­tur­bances, their in­flu­ence on elec­tronic de­vices and sys­tems, and pro­tec­tion against them.
