EFTF 2014
Announcing the European Frequency and Time Forum, being held in Neuchâtel, Switzerland from June 23-26, 2014. This edition marks the 28th in a series of successful meetings that started in 1987.
The European Frequency and Time Forum (EFTF) is the premier technical conference in Europe for time and frequency products and related technologies. They bring together researchers and technologists from manufacturers, service providers, operators, application developers, National Metrology laboratories, defence timing, and standards bodies to share the latest information and promote the development of precise time and frequency systems and components.

Student Paper Competition: Students submitting abstracts for presentation are invited to participate in a student paper competition. To participate, the student must be the lead author and present the paper. If the paper is selected for oral presentation, the student must also provide a poster to participate in the competition. Winners will receive an award and a certificate. Further information is on the conference web site Student information. Student authors selected for the Student Paper Competition will be given preference for travel support. A request to be considered for the student paper competition must be made at the time of abstract submission.
Tutorials: On Monday, 23 June 2014, there will be a series of tutorials covering a wide range of related topics. The tutorials include both the fundamental topics of frequency and timing at a level suitable for practitioners new to the field, and more advanced and specialized topics related to specific areas. As such, the tutorials aim to provide useful knowledge to the beginners in the community, as well as those with extensive experience. Detailed information will be posted on the Tutorial page (available shortly).
Exhibition: A technical exhibition will be held during the conference. Detailed information can be found on the Exhibition page.
Working Language: The working language of the conference is English, which will be used for all printed material, presentations, and discussions.
