European Magnetic Sensors and Actuators Conference



European Magnetic Sensors and Actuators Conference (EMSA) (also European Conference on Magnetic Sensors and Actuators) - a conference organised biannually (usually in July) by various European universities. There are around 100 international participants.

The conference does not have a permanent website and the local organising committee is responsible for hosting website for each edition, as well as creating a new logo.

The scientific and technical papers can be delivered as oral or poster presentations. The full papers are published in various journals, depending on the local organising committee. For instance, peer-reviewed papers from EMSA 2002 and 2004 were published in Sensors and Actuators A-Physical and from EMSA 2014 in IEEE Transactions on Magnetics.
