The 2nd International Conference on Applied Electromagnetism will hold sessions in May 2007 in this eastern city, the 15 year home of the only Cuban center dedicated to that research.

The aim is to foster the use of this physical agent in economy and health, analyze its effect in diagnosis and therapy of diseases like cancer, AIDS and kidney failure, as well as its application in biotechnology, sustainable agriculture, management of plagues and illnesses, and energy efficiency.

Douglas Deas Yero, chief of the Industries department at the Cuban National Center for Applied Electromagnetism (CNEA, in Spanish), of the Santiago de Cuba University highlighted interest by experts from Spain, Mexico, Chile and Brazil of attending and exchanging experiences of its use with different purposes.

CNEA research produces results in industry, agriculture and health, but the way of action of electromagnetism is still not well-known, so its study by world scientists continues.

Among its contributions are magnetizers, used to treat water and very profitable in industries, the treatment of cancer with electric current and increase of productivity in vegetable crops.

Affiliated to the Santiago de Cuba University, the CNEA was founded on January 16, 1992 with the aim of studying, developing and generalizing applications in the electromagnetic field in all spheres of the country’s social and economic tasks.
