The conference Histelcon2019 will take place in Glasgow, Scotland, 18-19th September 2019

It is planned that if successful in being approved, there will be an IEEE History Milestone unveiling at the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow on the day before Histelcon2019 starts.

This milestone is about the work done on the Standardisation of the Unit of Electrical Resistance (e.g. the Ohm)

The HISTELCON2019 website is

www.histelcon2019.org

where the Call for Papers and other information can be found

Papers should be submitted via EasyChair, but those considering the submission of papers are welcome to send the planned titles and a short synopsis directly to me.
