ICEC2020 Electrical contatcs play an increasing important role for performance and reliability of all kinds of electrotechnical products. The International Conference on Electrical Contacts deals with these subjects for 60 years. The 30th conference ICEC2020 will be held in St.Gallen-Rorschach at the lake of Constance in Switzerland during June 15 18, 2020. The conference topics include: Contact Fundamentals and Materials Electric Arc Fundamentals and Dynamics Electric and Power Connector Technologies Connector and Switching Technologies Specific Applications Electro Mobility Advanced Switching Technologies Papers will be reviewed to meet scientific citation requirements and proceedings will be uploaded to all relevant data bases. Prospective authors should submit a brief abstract (200 words maximum) online before October 15, 2020. For abstract submissions and the latest information regarding the conference, please visit th ICEC2020 homepage at www.icec2020.com The conference proceedings will be submitted for coverage under the Conference Proceedings Citation Index CPCI. The proceedings will be treated as Open Access (OA) journal which means you can publish your research so it is free to access online as soon as it is published.

Location St.Gallen in the heart of Eastern Switzerland has a wide variety of tourist attractions. Discover the diversity of the region from Lake Bodensee and the Four-Countries Region to the gently rolling pre-alpine landscape with Mount Säntis. St.Gallen, the small metropolis of Eastern Switzerland, is in many ways, like a large cosmopolitan city. And this title suits it well. It owes this reputation not just to the monastery complex, which is a World Cultural Heritage Site, but also to the success of its textile industry. Rorschach by Lake Bodensee is a vibrant and bustling little lakeside town with pretty town houses and the Forum Würth with its unique art collection. The conference takes place in the Würth Haus Rorschach Conference Centre, which invites visitors to experience inspiring moments between architecture, art and nature.
