ISDEIV is an international forum with a long history of scientific exchange and advancement. Since the first Symposium in 1964, ISDEIV has been held every 2 years. The vision for ISDEIV is to encourage the advancement of the science and application of electrical insulation and discharges in vacuum, primarily through exchange of scientific information and data exchange. Over the past 60 years, ISDEIV has played an important role in advancing scientific progress, fostering technological innovation and application, and cultivating young talent in the field.
Since its foundation, the conference has been held once every two years at locations traversing the globe, providing a truly international forum and fostering the development of the power quality community.
