Welcome
ICLP 2016, the 33rd ICLP conference, continues the tradition of the preceding ICLP conferences by offering a platform
for the exchange of scientific and technical information related to lightning phenomena.
ICLP 2014, in Xangai, was attended by 562 delegates from 50 countries. As in all ICLP conferences, a challenging
technical content was offered. An attractive program of the highest standard will also await you in Estoril, 2016.
About ICLP
ICLP is a scientific/technical organ aiming at promoting scientific research on lightning physics as well as methods for
improving protection of people, animals and properties against the effects of lightning.
Since 1951, regular international meetings on lightning events and lightning protection of structures and services are
organized, in order to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of scientific knowledge and information
among scientists and engineers who are engaged in research and practical application on lightning protection and to
ensure the effective transfer of new knowledge from lightning research into practice for the benefit of society. All the
papers presented at ICLP meetings are reviewed by a panel of experts and are selected based on their scientific and
technical merit.
