EurAAP Awards
EurAAP Award
The EurAAP Award was established in 2011. Starting in 2015, two Awards are given each year: one in the Antenna field and one in the Propagation field.
The aim of the awards is to recognise the contribution of an individual person to technical & scientific advances, education and coordination of research & networking activities in the fields of Antennas & Propagation in Europe or in relationship to Europe.
EurAAP Antenna Award 2022: José Antonio Encinar Garcinuño For his pioneer contributions to reflectarray antennas for space applications |
EurAAP Propagation Award 2022: Henry Bertoni For the development of propagation prediction models used for the design of cellular networks |
ESoA Best Teacher Award
The ESoA best teacher of the year, established in 2012, has been till recently considered an internal ESoA matter. This award is based exclusively on the evaluation forms filled out from a large number of students; it is therefore a bottom up result.
Since 2019, this unique award in the world, is now given by EurAAP during the EuCAP week.
EuCAP 2022 would like to congratulate the Best ESoA teachers this year:

EurAAP Leopold B. Felsen Award for Excellence in Electrodynamics
The “Leopold B. Felsen Award for Excellence in Electrodynamics” (henceforth “the Award”) was originally established jointly by the University of Siena and the University of Sannio, funded through a donation from Michael and Judy Felsen in fulfillment of the last wishes of their father, Professor Leo Felsen (1924-2005). Since from 2015, the Award is established by the European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP).
EurAAP Leopold B. Felsen Award 2022: Íñigo Liberal
