The 50^th Anniversary International Symposium for Space Science and Radio Engineering (SSRE) held at UEC, Tokyo

The 50^th Anniversary International Symposium for Space Science and Radio Engineering (SSRE) ( Electromagnetic Environment Measurements and their application ) was held on 25-26 June 2018 at the University of Electro-Communications (UEC), Tokyo.

The symposium is held annually at UEC, Tokyo as a platform to present new research findings in space and radio engineering. The meeting this year was held as the 50^th anniversary international symposium focusing on electromagnetic environment measurements and their applications. The symposium included invited speakers from overseas including the UK, France, USA, India, Finland, and Taiwan.

The topics of the talks on the science and engineering of electromagnetic wave measurements included space plasma physics (ionosphere, magnetosphere, and aurora), atmospheric electricity (thunderstorm and lightning, and weather), seismo-electromagnetics, electromagnetic compatibility, synthetic aperture radar, and astronomy.

The symposium was opened with a welcome address from Takashi Fukuda, President of the University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo, and the scheduled included 27 oral talks and a conference dinner on the first day. Approximately 100 participants took part in the symposium.
