Conference Statistics
The IRMMW-THz Conference is the oldest and largest forum devoted to the wide spectral range extending from the infrared to
the millimeter wave region. The conference topics include infrared, terahertz and millimeter wave sources and components as
well as far-infrared detectors and instrumentation. It also deals with applications as diverse as space science, biology,
bio-medicine, cultural heritage conservation, environmental and material sciences, telecommunications and security. The
conference typically alternates between Europe, Asia and USA on a three year cycle. The 2008 conference was held at CalTech
Pasadena, CA (USA) and the 2009 conference was held in Busan, Korea.
The 35th International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves, IRMMW-THz 2010 was held in Rome from
September 5 to 10, 2010. The venue of the event was the "Angelicum" - Pontificia Università San Tommaso d'Aquino,
located in the heart of the oldest area of the city of Rome. The success of the event is witnessed by the unprecedented
record of 640 delegates registered at the conference coming from 36 countries from all over the world.
The following graph illustrates the geographical distribution of the participants indicating a strong contribution from Europe,
as it usually happens for the continent hosting the conference. The chart also shows a strong Asian participation, mainly from Japan
and Korea, which has become significant during the recent years of the conference. The numbers related to the North-American participation
indicate a stable presence of scientists from this area.
Due to the large number of participants and papers, the conference program has been articulated on joint Plenary Sessions,
of two invited talks each, opening each day, followed by six parallel technical sessions every day. The Plenary Speakers have been
selected on the basis of suggestions given by the Program Committee, the International Organizing Committee and the International
Advisory Committee. Plenary lectures are intended to provide the state of the art of the most advanced research in the Infrared,
Millimeter wave and Terahertz region, together with the overview of historical developments and new input and ideas from nearby fields.
The list of distinguished Plenary Speakers is given in the following Table.
