On behalf of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the University of West Bohemia, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all of the attendees who joined us at the IEEE-PEMC 2024 conference. Your active participation, insightful questions, and enthusiastic involvement are what truly brought this event to life. It was your presence that made the sessions vibrant and the discussions meaningful, and for that, we are truly thankful.
I would also like to highlight the value of our keynote and invited speakers, whose expertise provided inspiration and thought-provoking ideas throughout the conference. The positive feedback from the technical visits to RICE and ŠKODA ELECTRIC shows the genuine interest in innovation and collaboration that this community thrives on.
A huge thank you also goes out to our sponsors, especially our diamond sponsor ŠKODA GROUP, whose support has been instrumental in making this conference possible. Our partnership with ŠKODA in the field of power electronics and drives has been going strong since 1965, and we are proud to continue this collaboration.
I cannot forget the incredible organizational team that worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly. Special thanks to Dr. Jan Michalik, Dr. Tomáš Komrska, Dr. Gabor Sziebig, Dr. Pavel Drábek, Dr. Tomáš Glasberger, Iveta Pangrácová, Katrin Bittnerová, Kateřina Newton, and our dedicated students. Their hard work and commitment made this event possible. I also want to acknowledge the support from the PEMC Council, led by Pavol Bauer, and all the reviewers, session chairs, and the award committee.
But above all, thank you to you—the participants—for making IEEE-PEMC 2024 a success. We look forward to seeing you at future events!
