Welcome
You are hereby cordially invited to participate in the 26th Nordic Insulation Symposium on Materials, Components and Diagnostics (NORD-IS 19), which will be held in Tampere, Finland on 12. – 14. June, 2019.
✔Please mark your calendar and submit your Abstract by 31st December, 2018
Who should attend?
The Symposium provides an opportunity for researchers, PhD students and engineers working at research institutes, academia, power industry and power utilities to meet, exchange ideas, research results and practical experience on insulating materials, components, models and diagnostics plus related topics such as apparatus and measuring techniques.
PhD students and young engineers are particularly encouraged to present their work. The symposium language is English and participants from both within and outside the Nordic countries are warmly welcome.
Scope
The scope of NORD-IS 19 includes, but is not limited to the following areas:
Design and modelling of high voltage components
Materials for new applications in AC and DC power apparatus
Ageing phenomena and breakdown mechanisms
HV measurements and test procedures
Condition monitoring and diagnostic techniques
Electric and thermal stresses and risk based condition assessment of power apparatus
Environmental challenges

NORD-IS History
Nordic Insulation Symposium has a long history, originating back to 1968 when it was started as a symposium on Partial Discharges (Nord-PD). Since then it has been arranged every two years as Nordic Insulation Symposium with the scope covering not only the insulation systems but also all related fields of High Voltage engineering. Despite the traditional name NORD-IS welcomes researchers, engineers and students from all countries.

Tampere
The Tampere Region is one of Finland's fastest growing centres. Tampere has a population of more than 220,000 while there are close to half a million people in the greater Tampere Region. The population of Finland is a little more than five million.
Tampere was founded by Sweden's young monarch, Gustavus III, in 1779. Tampere has a monumental industrial history: the Finlayson cotton mill was the first large-scale industrial enterprise in Finland and it was in fact in Finlayson's factory hall that the first electric light in the Nordic countries was lit.
Today Tampere can be described as a centre of leading-edge technology, research, education, culture, sports and business. It is Finland's third largest city as well as the largest inland city in the Nordic countries. Tampere is located on an isthmus between lakes Näsijärvi and Pyhäjärvi, in a beautiful ridge scenery. The Tammerkoski rapids are a nationally recognized landscape and in the city centre you can also enjoy the awarded lighting at Keskustori Central Square.
