Industry Insights with Janet O' Neil: EuCAP Founders

In celebration of European Conference on Antennas and Propagation 2026—marking the 20th anniversary of this flagship event, held in Dublin in April 2026—Janet spoke with two of the original founders of the European Association on Antennas and Propagation, the organization behind EuCAP: Bruno Casali and Juan Mosig.  They reflect on the origins of EuCAP, including why the first conference was hosted in France, followed by editions in the United Kingdom and Germany. The story behind EuCAP’s formation is both compelling and inspiring—Bruno and Juan demonstrated remarkable determination in bringing the inaugural EuCAP 2006 in Nice to life.   Special thanks to Microwave Journal for its media sponsorship of EuCAP!
