Conference Comments by the General Chair

Abstract

The 58th IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC) was held July 16–23, 2021. For the second consecutive year, the conference was conducted virtually, featuring live online interactions between conference attendees and recorded content from presenters. The live portions of the conference were held from July 19 to July 23, after which content was made available for attendees on-demand. Despite these circumstances, the conference was a great success. The 2021 NSREC was attended by 647 engineers, scientists, managers, students, and exhibitors. International participation was also quite strong, with 142 non-U.S. attendees from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Russia, Serbia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
