Indian Antenna Week 2010 is the second endeavour of IEEE AP-MTT Chapter, Calcutta Section after its successful launch of Applied Electromagnetics Conference AEMC as a biennial international event in the city of Kolkata. This has actually evolved from the of AEMC09 statistics, which clearly indicates that the majority of EM researchers in India are active in the domain of Antennas. This was brought to the notice of IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society and their positive feedback has lead us to initiate this activity. The meet is planned for a working week as a Residential Workshop to be held during every summer on rotation basis in different cities of India which attract tourists during that time. The essence of this academic interaction will be different from a conventional workshop or conference since it is a residential one in a star category hotel or resort and the participants would have more opportunity to share their views in a congenial atmosphere. The sessions would be singular in nature to attract and sustain focus of all participants. Potential session organizers are welcome to contact for any specific technical topics. This event would be the first of its kind in India where only the antenna researchers would gather in a common forum./p>
