Welcome to the COST 284 Final Report CD-ROM

COST 284 Chair, Prof. Juan Mosig

This is the Final Report CD-ROM of COST Action 284 on “Innovative Antennas for Emerging Terrestrial & Space-Based Applications” of the COST framework of European Cooperation in the Field of Scientific and Technical Research. The project has involved cooperation between 20 European countries (Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Serbia Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and U.K.) and ESA over a four year period from 2002 to 2006. In addition, organisations in the Czech Republic, Poland and Romania, as well as organisations in Canada, Mexico and Russia, took part in the work as observers.

 
A main achievement of COST 284 was the creation of the successful FP6 Network of Excellence ACE (Antenna Centre of Excellence) and our contribution to the creation of the European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2006) taking place 6-10 Nov. 2006 in Nice. COST 284 has been extended by half a year to allow this conference to be also the final COST 284 workshop with close to 100 COST 284 presentations. COST 284 was supported by COST TIST first under the EU COST Office and then under the ESF COST Office. We are grateful for this support.

This Final Report CD-ROM includes the Executive Summary with the background and the main achievements of the Action, and all the technical contributions to the Action presented by the national participants. There is also an extensive photo gallery and a comprehensive list of links to other European scientific cooperation programmes. Enjoy your browsing!
