WELCOME MESSAGESactivities during the Week but also pre-and post-conference tours.Getting to Nuremberg is easy via the Nuremberg Airport, by high speed trains (ICE trains) or by car.During EuMW2013, in Nuremberg there will be many hotel rooms available for you.We have also pre-booked several hotels for you, all of which are located in or near to Nuremberg's lovely Old Town from where NCC Ost can easily be reached.Your registration package will include a 7-day pass to freely use the public transportation system of Nuremberg incorporating all metro lines, S-trains, trams and public buses.You will receive this 7-day pass as part of the booking confirmation if you register online, so in this case you will have your ticket already in your pocket when arriving in Nuremberg.Nuremberg is the centre of a prospering European metropolitan region with 2.5 million inhabitants incorporating cities like Fürth, Erlangen, Bamberg, Bayreuth, and Würzburg.Nuremberg has a long history with its economic and cultural heyday being in the late 15th and early 16th century when it was the centre of the German countries.In World War II, the city was badly damaged by bombs, however its rebuilding today presents Nuremberg as a successful blend of a lively past and modern present-day life: Nuremberg just offers everything to everyone with easy access to everywhere!So I hope that you will find some time to retire from the hectic daily routine of your business at the Week.Let me also recommend to BRING YOUR FAMILY!On behalf of the organising committee, The Nürnberg Team, as we call it, and on behalf of the City of Nuremberg I would like to invite you, your family, and your friends to take part in this unparalleled event and explore the friendly atmosphere of Nuremberg.The city is loved, among other things, for its hospitality, for its variety of impressive museums such as the German National Museum (the largest museum of German art and culture), the Albrecht Dürer House (where Germany's most famous artist lived and worked), the Hirsvogel Hall (the home of the most important Renaissance interior north of the Alps), the Documentation Centre Nazi Party Rally Grounds, the Memorium Nuremberg Trials Exhibition, the New Museum exhibiting contemporary art, the Toy Museum (focussing on Nuremberg's tradition as a "City of Toys"), its emperor's castle, its cathedrals and its many other historic medieval buildings.It is also treasured for its beer gardens and micro-breweries, for its German gingerbread (Lebkuchen), for its roast sausages (Nürnberger Bratwürste) and for its Franconian smoked shoulder of pork (Schäuferle).From Nuremberg, you easily reach nearby beautiful cities such as Rothenburg, Dinkelsbühl, Bamberg, Bayreuth, Regensburg, or Würzburg, the latter being the centre of the Franconian wine growing area, and you may visit Munich, Prague, or Dresden.Coincidentally, this year the world famous Bavarian beer festival, the Munich Oktoberfest will overlap with the beginning of the European Microwave Week, and Munich can easily be reached by the frequently running ICE high speed trains.Useful information is available from www.eumweek.comand from the Nuremberg tourism web site at http://tourismus.nuernberg.de/en.Our motto MEET EXPERTS, MAKE FRIENDS not only reflects the great potential of our unique destination but also the spirit of the international microwave community.The Nürnberg Team, which does not only incorporate the chairmen and chief officers listed in this programme book but also many volunteering members of the Department of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Information Technology of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, of our Intersocietal Liaison Committee and our Industrial Advisory Board, and our colleagues of Horizon House are working selflessly around the clock for you and for our EuMW events to make sure this year's EuMW will be a unique success.My sincere thanks to all members of Horizon House and to all members of The Nürnberg Team!We have had over 500 reviewers and 107 Technical Programme Committee members; let me give a big thanks to all of them.I would also like to greatly thank the organisers of workshops, short courses, special, focus, or panel sessions and all the session chairs, all of whom have volunteered their time and skills to ensure that EuMW2013 is of highest quality.Finally, let me express all my thanks to the financial sponsors, for greatly helping us to make the Week more sound and convenient for the attendees, and to the non-EuMA technical co-sponsors, for assisting us in many ways to promote the Week.As I am writing this foreword, it is early April, and we are still planning to set-up a few more technical, social and other events.Until October there will be much more information available for you, so keep track of it by occasionally browsing through www.eumweek.com.Please prepare your attendance to ensure a memorable time and experience that you cannot afford to miss; and bring your family and friends.We look forward to welcoming you at the 2013 European Microwave Week in Nuremberg.
