Clayton R. Paul <br>Global University<br/>

Clayton R. Paul Global University

Advance your EMC knowledge and career with 20 hours of in-depth classes on
EMC at the IEEE EMC Society’s premier educational event.
August 1-5, 2022

The first Global University took place at the 2007 International Symposium on EMC in Honolulu, Hawaii. Janet O’Neil, the symposium chair, was looking for events to help encourage people relatively new to EMC to come to the symposium. Dr. Clayton Paul proposed a series of courses taught by internationally recognized EMC instructors from around the world. Together, they organized an event they named “Global University” consisting of ten, two-hour courses that ran throughout the symposium week. The event proved to be very popular and has been a fixture at every EMC symposium since then.

In the early years, the name of the event changed from Global University to Global EMC University to Global EMC & SI University, as the topics and the nature of instruction evolved. However, in 2013 the IEEE EMC Society Education Committee determined that the membership was best served by Global University as it was originally envisioned and organized by Dr. Paul. The committee established strict standards for both the topics and instructors to ensure a high-quality educational experience. They also renamed the event “Clayton R. Paul Global University.”

This year marks Global University’s 15th anniversary. It’s perhaps fitting that Janet O’Neil is once again the symposium chair and that the Clayton R. Paul Global University continues to provide the type of quality EMC education to which Dr. Paul devoted most of his career.

The topics for this year’s Global University are those that have been proven to be valuable to participants in the “virtual format” of the last two symposia. The planned return to an in-person event for this year will now provide the attendees with a significantly enhanced learning experience, due to the ability for interaction between instructors and attendees, as well as providing networking among attendees (of which both aspects have not been possible recently).

This year’s Global University will truly be an event that honors Dr. Paul’s efforts and dedication to the EMC Society as well as maintains his high standards in providing EMC educational opportunities!

PLEASE NOTE: The Clayton R. Paul Global University course content is intended for engineers who have been working in EMC and/or SIPI for several years and wish to be able to deepen their understanding. It is suggested that those who would like to attend will have already participated in the “Fundamentals Tutorial” held on Monday during the annual IEEE EMC Society Symposium week.
