The opening ceremony was hosted by Prof. Zhenmao Chen from Xi'an Jiaotong University. Addresses were delivered at the conference by Xiaowei Zuo, Deputy Secretary-General of the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society (CMES); Dr. Sajeesh Kumar Babu, Honorary Chair of WCEMNT2025 and Chair of the International Committee on Non-destructive Testing (ICNDT); Gongtian Shen, Honorary Chair of WCEMNT2025 and Chair of ChSNDT; Guiyun Tian, Chair of WCEMNT2025 and Professor from Chongqing University of Technology; and Junming Lin, Chair of WCEMNT2025 and Director of the Fujian Academician and Expert Work Station (Eddysun).
WCEMNT2025 received over 200 academic paper abstracts. After a rigorous review by the Experts of the Technical Program Committee, 138 abstracts were accepted for presentations, including 14 keynote presentations, 18 invited presentations, 26 oral presentations, and 80 poster presentations. Through various presentation formats like oral sessions, panel discussion, experts and scholars conducted multi-dimensional academic discussions around the following five key topics:
- Eddy Current, Microwave, and Thermal Testing;
- Multiphysics-based nondestructive testing;
- Advanced sensing technologies;
- Electromagnetic imaging and tomography;
- Magnetic methods in nondestructive testing.
During the keynote presentation session of WCEMNT2025, Prof. Jianrong Tan (Academician of CAE, Zhejiang University, China), Prof. Antonello Tamburrino (University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, Italy), Prof. Gongtian Shen (Chair of ChSNDT), Prof. Yiming Deng (Michigan State University, USA), Prof. Guiyun Tian (Chongqing University of Technology, China), Prof. Isaratat Phung-On (King Mongkut's University of Technology, Thailand), Prof. Chao Lu (Nanchang Hangkong University, China), Prof. Younho Cho (Pusan National University, South Korea), Prof. Evangelos Hristoforou (National Technical University of Athens, Greece), Prof. Zhenmao Chen (Xi'an Jiaotong University, China), Prof. Mohamed Missous (University of Manchester, UK), Prof. Jing Liu (Institute of Electrical Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China), Prof. Weiying Cheng (Japan Power Engineering and Inspection Corporation, Japan), and Prof. Zhiwei Zeng (Xiamen University, China) delivered in-depth sharing on cutting-edge topics including machine learning and performance visualization, electromagnetic imaging and material characterization, ISO standards for electromagnetic non-destructive testing, NDE 4.0 applications, and the recent progression and future prospects of electromagnetic non-destructive testing technology.
The conference also invited Prof. Chuanyu Zou (China National Institute of Standardization, China), Prof. Dongfeng He (National Institute for Materials Science, Japan), Prof. Shejuan Xie (Xi'an Jiaotong University, China), Prof. Cherdpong Jomdecha (King Mongkut's University of Technology, Thailand), Prof. Yunze He (Hunan University, China), Prof. Adi Mahmud Jaya Marindra (Institut Teknologi Kalimantan, Indonesia), Prof. Bin Gao (University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, China), Prof. Yingwei Li (Yanshan University, China), Prof. Shengfeng Qin (Northumbria University, UK), Prof. Wuliang Yin (The University of Manchester, UK), Prof. Hai Zhang (Harbin Institute of Technology, China), Prof. Davoud Shahgholian (Tarbiat Modares University, Iran), Prof. Bo Wang (Tsukuba Technology Co., Ltd., Japan), Prof. Luyao He (Shenyang University of Technology, China), Prof. Benjamin Ducharne (Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon, France), Prof. Bo Hu (Nanchang Hangkong University, China), Prof. Ali Sophian (International Islamic University Malaysia, Malaysia), and Dr. Ali Iman Sunny (Ernst & Young, UK) to deliver invited presentations.
In addition, to facilitate academic exchange and interaction between young scholars and the international academic community, WCEMNT2025 specially set up 2 dedicated poster sessions and selected the Best Poster Award from the posters presented.
Concurrent with the conference, a number of exhibitors conducted exhibitions and demonstrations of cutting-edge instrumentation and equipment.
During the conference, many experts and scholars from all over the world delivered forward-looking shares, ranging from in-depth analysis of emerging theories to practical demonstrations of cutting-edge technologies. Their insightful views broadened new horizons for peers worldwide, elevating the academic atmosphere and international standards of WCEMNT2025 to new heights.
Following the three-day conference presentations, Eddysun (Xiamen) Electronic Co., Ltd. organized the attending experts and scholars to visit Eddysun and exchange technologies. Distinguished attendees, including Dr. Sajeesh Kumar Babu (Chair of ICNDT), Prof. Evangelos Hristoforou (National Technical University of Athens, Greece), Prof. Weiying Cheng (Japan Power Engineering and Inspection Corporation, Japan), Mr. Suslov Ruslan Pavlovich (JSC Krastsvetmet, Russia), Mr. Mehdi Emami (Parsian Gas Refinery, Iran), Mr. Mohammad Fallahi (Pishro Payesh Company, Iran), Dr. Goratouch Ongtrakulkij and Mr. Jirat Tulyaprawat (Dexon Technology PLC, Thailand), joined the visit technical tour to Eddysun (Xiamen) Electronic Co., Ltd..
WCEMNT2025 brought together numerous world-leading scholars and research elites in the field, establishing a high-standard, multi-dimensional exchange platform that provided participants with cutting-edge academic perspectives and the latest research trends. More than an academic feast, the conference was honored to be included in the "Open Cooperation Month" initiative launched by the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST). This milestone signifies that our exchange platform has reached a higher level with a broader vision, and will surely inject a strong "electromagnetic momentum" into the openness, trust, and cooperation of the global scientific and technological community.
We fully acknowledge that traditional technologies such as eddy current testing (ECT) and magnetic flux leakage (MFL) have laid a solid foundation for us. However, facing the future, we must courageously break through boundaries and systematically establish a smarter, more integrated, and more three-dimensional innovative system for electromagnetic testing. From microwave to terahertz technologies, from the integrated collaboration of electromagnetic-acoustic-ultrasonic and electrochemical technologies to the interdisciplinary integration with ultrasonic guided waves, laser holography, infrared thermography, and then, to embracing the cutting-edge waves of artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and bio-electromagnetic fields – this is precisely the grand blueprint that we hope to jointly explore at WCEMNT2025.
