Dear conference participants !

On behalf of UkrMiCo, let me extend a warm welcome to you, and declare the start of our conference.

The 6th IEEE UkrMiCo conference informs the scientific community and society about the latest advances in information and communications technologies and radio electronics. This year, a new and exciting addition to the conference scope was made, featuring the history of science, which provides an opportunity to learn more about the rich history of information and communication technologies, and their impact on our world today.

One more important point: our conference topics are timely and relevant to strengthening national security and defense, that is urgent task for all scientific society taking into the account wartime in our country.

The organizing committee has received 99 abstracts from potential participants in the conference, representing scientists from Ukraine, Sweden, the UK, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Republic of Korea, Vietnam, Poland, and Latvia. Ukrainian scientists represent this field of science in 48 leading universities, partner, and scientific institutions, including Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, Lviv Polytechnic National University, National Aviation University, Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics, and V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University.

The content of the historical section is mainly formed fromreports made by scientists from Dobrov Research Institute On Scientific And Technological Potential And Science History of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Among the presentations of researches from this institute, is one dedicated to the ninetieth anniversary of the outstanding Ukrainian scientist, doctor of physical and mathematical sciences, professor Yuri Oleksiyovych Khramov.

A large group of 42 experts reviewed the contents of the submissions and prepared 270 reviews. Ten out of 30 highest-rated submissions were selected for the conference plenary session, and a total of 87 submissions (80% of the total) were included in the conference program. These submissions are divided into four sections:

- Computer Science - 12 reports;

- Communications - 18 reports;

- Microwave Technology - 23 reports;

- Electron Devices - 17 reports;

- History - 17 reports.

The 4-day conference will take place from November 13 to 16, 2023. All remote participants were registered yesterday. Today, the plenary session will be held, featuring 10 reports from all five conference research areas. On November 15, six section sessions will be held, including two simultaneous subsections for the Microwave Technology section.
