The International Conference on Electrical Machines (ICEM) is the only major international conference devoted entirely to electrical machines. Started in London in 1974, ICEM is now established as a regular biennial event. Following the very successful conferences in Istanbul in 1998, Helsinki in 2000, and Belgium in 2002 ICEM’2004 was jointly organized by Institute of Mechatronics and Information Systems, Technical University of L od ́ ́ z, Poland (main organizer) in cooperation with a few Polish Universities and Polish Society of Applied Electromagnetics.
The Conference venue was Cracow. Historically, Cracow is Poland’s most distinguished city, on a par with the most famous places in Europe, comprising rich and varied cultural heritage. The ancient royal capital of Poland for centuries has been constituting crossroads where influences of many traditions meet, namely traditions of the Italian, French, German, Austrian, and Jewish cultures.
Cracow’s uniqueness made it one of the first places to be entered on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List in 1978. Alongside hundreds of wonderful monuments of architecture, you will see here exquisite collections of Polish, Western European, Jewish, Persian, and Japanese art. Cracow is the city of Copernicus and Pope John Paul II, of Penderecki and Wajda. It is a city of churches and museums, theatres and festivals, scholarship and music, a city brimming with life, and as ever the focus of Poland’s cultural and academic spirit.
