The Association has been established in 2007 by the partners of the FP-6 Network of Excellence "METAMaterials ORganized for radio, millimeter wave, and PHOtonic Superlattice Engineering" - METAMORPHOSE NoE - funded by the European Commission in 2004-2008. Sponsors 3 The METAMORPHOSE VI is an active network integrating, managing, and coordinating several researches and spreading activities in the field of Artificial Electromagnetic Materials Foreword 5 and Metamaterials. In order to achieve his purposes, the METAMORPHOSE VI AISBL pursues the following activities: Preface 6 • Integrate, manage, coordinate, and monitor research projects in the field of Artificial Electromagnetic Materials and Metamaterials; Welcome Message 7 • Spread excellence in this field, in particular, by organizing scientific conferences and creating specialized journals; Committees 8 • Create and manage research programmes in this field; Location 10 • Activate and manage training programmes (including PhD and training programmes for students and industrial partners); Conference Venue 1 1 • Provide information on Artificial Electromagnetic Materials and Metamaterials; • Transfer new technologies in this field to the Industry; Social Events 12 • Offer advice and services related to Artificial Electromagnetic Materials and Metamaterials to industries, producers, distributors, potential users, service suppliers and to the like in Session Matrix 13 Europe and worldwide. Among the other activities, the Association owns and organizes the Metamaterials Congress Series and the Doctoral Programmes on Metamaterials. You are welcome to visit the website, send us your comments, and join the Association!

This event is co-organised by the Virtual Institute for http://www.nanoscribe.de/en/ Artificial Electromagnetic Materials and Metamaterials (METAMORPHOSE VI) and the Institut Fresnel. Last year we celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the Congress in Crete: it was an occasion for celebration but also to make an assessment of the whole Congress series and plan together the route for the future. Sponsors The Congress series, initiated by the European Network of Excellence METAMORPHOSE and convened annually by the METAMORPHOSE VI, was originally intended to gather scientists from the engineering and physics communities World Scientific Filiberto Bilotti, working on artificial electromagnetic materials and metamaterials. This was also http://www.worldscientific.com/ Geneal Chair reflected in the sub-title of the Congress: theInternational Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics. However, it has become evident that the concept of metamaterials has gained a much broader breadth and American Elements the Congress, consequently, has been attracting in recent years more and more https://www.americanelements.com/ researchers working in many fields of science and technology, including material science and electromagnetism, physics of solids and acoustics, nanofabrication and chemistry, thermodynamics and mechanics, nano- and quantum-mechanics, civil engineering and device design. To reflect this multidisciplinary nature, after an Materials Horizons interesting discussion with eminent scientists and close friends of our community, we http://pubs.rsc.org/en/journals/journalissues/mh have decided to modify the sub-title of the Congress, which has become International Congress on Engineered Materials Platforms for Novel Wave Phenomena. The hope is that the Congress will continue for many years to provide a unique forum for presenting the latest results in the dynamic field of metamaterials and Journal of Materials Chemistry C Andrea Alù, their applications in many fields of science and technology. The Congress traditions, http://pubs.rsc.org/En/journals/journalissues/tc General Co-Chair established and nurtured by its long history and predecessors, International Conferences on Complex Media and Metamaterials (Bianisotropics) and Rome International Workshops on Metamaterials and Special Materials for Electromagnetic Applications and TLC, will be further advanced in Marseille. A balanced mix of Multiwave plenary, invited, contributed and poster presentations, all subjected to rigorous peer http://www.multiwave.ch/ review, encompasses diverse aspects of the fundamental theory, modelling, design, applications, fabrication, and measurements. The Congress is traditionally accompanied by the European Doctoral School on Proceedings of the Royal Society A Metamaterials. This year school is devoted to modelling of metamaterials: numerical http://rspa.royalsocietypublishing.org/ methods and homogenization techniques. We would like to thank all our sponsors and colleagues who have helped with the Congress organisation and offered their scientific and technical contributions. U.R.S.I. The success of the conference series allows METAMORPHOSE VI, a non-for-profit http://www.ursi.org/homepage.php international association, to provide financial support to a number of participants, particularly students, to operate the European Doctoral Program on Metamaterials (EUPROMETA) and to deliver other services to the broad metamaterials community.
