32nd International Conference on Lightning Protection

Crowne Plaza Shanghai, Oct. 13-17, 2014, Shanghai, China
The 32nd International Conference on Lightning Protection will be hosted jointly by Tsinghua University and Shanghai Jiaotong University. The conference venue will be the Crowne Plaza Shanghai at No.400, Panyu Road, Shanghai, China. The ICLP 2014 conference continues the tradition of the preceding ICLP conferences by offering a platform for the exchange of scientific and technical information related to lightning phenomena. Contributions are sought on all topics related to the study of lightning physics, characterization, protection of buildings, electric power systems, electronic systems as well as methods for improving protection of people, animals and property against the effects of lightning. So come and join the ICLP 2014 in Shanghai! An attractive program of the highest standard will await you. We look forward to seeing you in the beautiful city of Shanghai, which is the biggest city in China, and an international metropolis. Shanghai is the economic, financial, trading and shipping center in Chinese mainland and in the world. Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers on their latest research results. We also solicit proposals for special sessions, industrial forums, workshops and tutorials. This conference will provide authoritative reviews and papers on the progress and state of lightning research and lightning protection, as well as opportunities for personal contacts between the international community of lightning researchers and lightning protection engineers. Important Dates Proposals for special/invited sessions and topical meetings / workshops and tutorials Extended Abstract submissions (At least 2 full pages in PDF format) Notification of acceptance Final paper submission Details on the symposium websites: Dec. 30, 2013 April 1, 2014 May 15, 2014 July 31, 2014
