EMC Professional Talk: 40+Years in EMC and related Areas – Lessons Learned! – Dr. Diethard E. A. Hansen EURO EMC SERVICE (EES) Dr. Hansen Consulting, Berikon AG (near Zurich), Switzerland Abstract: Lots of progress has been made away from the early image "EMC=back magic". Global EMC today is ever more important but also somehow tricky in several ways. There is, however, still, and in various areas, an unfortunate lag of committing to more applied research. Consequently, costly imperfections and legal issues continue to arise from e.g. some (CE) standards/test procedures. Why is corporate EMC management so different in SMEs and large Corporations? Join a time-witness journey through Electromagnetics, starting with NEMP to EMC and related areas. Professional activities: Employee/Entrepreneur, various Industries, Researcher and Free-Lance Consultant. Satisfaction and risks in founding R&D- Labs, running/auditing Test-Labs and Product Certification Bodies. Advising/organizing, performing international technology transfer (GTEM) and experiencing "real world" in international standardization will be briefly discussed.   For further information, pleas see event page: ieee_german_emc_chapter_professional_talk_Diethard_Hansen_v2.pdf
