The International Conference on Electrical Machines (ICEM) has been established as an influential and recognized international event, being the only major international conference entirely devoted to electrical machines. Started in London in 1974 under the leadership of the late Professor Arthur Ellison, ICEM is now organized as a regular event. Very successful recent editions were held in Helsinki (Finland) in 2000, Bruges (Belgium) in 2002, Cracow (Poland) in 2004, Chania (Greece) in 2006, Vilamoura (Portugal) in 2008, Roma (Italy) in 2010, Marseille (France) in 2012, Berlin (Germany) in 2014, Lausanne (Switzerland) in 2016, Alexandroupoli (Greece) in 2018 and Gothenburg (Sweden) in 2020.

The 25th edition of the conference, ICEM’2022, will take place at Valencia Conference Centre, Valencia, Spain, September 5-8, 2022. Valencia is an ancient roman yet vibrantly modern city and is well connected to the world by an international airport, high speed trains, motorways, and one of the largest ports in Spain.

ICEM’2022 will be a magic event for many reasons: first of all, because we seem to be at the end of a period in which the humanity has faced a terrible pandemia that has made our daily life difficult. Hopefully, ICEM’2022 will be an excellent opportunity to meet again with our colleagues facilitating the in-person interaction that we all missed during the last two years. Second, because it is the 25^th edition of ICEM and it will be an excellent motivation to celebrate altogether that it reaches this magic number. Different surprises will be given to the attendees to commemorate such an event. Last, but not least, it is the second time that ICEM is held in Spain after the 1996 edition. Valencia will be fully prepared to welcome all the participants offering its nice weather, beaches, gastronomy and hospitality.
