title: The AMPERE association and trends in its biennial conferences.
abstract: AMPERE (Association for Microwave Power in Europe for Research and Education) is a "European" non-profit association devoted to the promotion of microwave and radio frequency heating techniques for research and industrial applications. Despite the fact that AMPERE is a European association, it has a world-wide membership which comprises industrialists, academics, researchers and consultants. This brief paper focuses on the trends in the subject matter and activities in the biennial AMPERE conferences held in Europe since 1986.
