IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Distinguished Lecturer Workshop
Auditorium between Buildings 2 and 3
Global and regional experts and leaders gather at KAUST for the IEEE AP-S Distinguished Lecturer Workshop 2025 to share advancements in antennas and propagation research.
Overview
The IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) Distinguished Lecturer (DL) Program connects global experts with local chapters to share advancements in antennas and propagation. This program promotes knowledge exchange, professional development, and cutting-edge research within the antennas and propagation community through lectures delivered by distinguished experts.
The upcoming IEEE AP-S DL Workshop hosted at KAUST brings together prominent international and regional leaders, distinguished speakers and participants. The event provides a platform for attendees to connect, collaborate and explore the latest advancements in the field. Scheduled for February 2–4, 2025, the workshop aims to foster collaboration within the regional community, strengthen inter-societal connections, and advance membership initiatives in the Middle East.
