About the Conference

Where theory meets the bench.

The International Conference on Modern Circuits and Systems Technologies (MOCAST) on Electronics and Communications aims to bring together leading academic and industrial scientists and researchers to exchange and share their knowledge and experiences about all aspects of Circuits and Systems. It also provides a forum for exchanging ideas, discussing research results, and presenting practical applications in the areas of modeling, design, simulation, synthesis, and implementation of Circuits and Systems. It provides an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary forum for researchers, engineers, and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns, practical challenges encountered, and the solutions adopted in these fields.

MOCAST 2027 will take place in Thessaloniki. Thessaloniki, Greece's vibrant "co-capital" and the largest metropolis in the northern region of Macedonia, is a captivating seaside city steeped in over 2,300 years of history. Founded in 315 BC by King Cassander and named after Alexander the Great's half-sister, the city serves as a living open-air museum where diverse historical eras seamlessly converge. As a crucial administrative and commercial hub during the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman empires, it has a multicultural legacy richly reflected in its urban landscape. Visitors can explore a remarkable collection of 15 UNESCO World Heritage Paleochristian and Byzantine monuments, marvel at the ancient Roman Arch of Galerius (Kamara), or wander through the narrow, cobblestone alleys of Ano Poli (the Upper Town), which still retains its traditional Ottoman-era charm. Watching over the sweeping Thermaic Gulf stands the iconic White Tower, the city's enduring symbol that bridges its complex past with a scenic, bustling present.

Beyond its archaeological wealth, modern Thessaloniki is celebrated as Greece's cultural and gastronomic powerhouse, infused with a youthful energy largely driven by its massive student population. Officially recognized as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, it offers an unmatched culinary scene where centuries-old Sephardic Jewish, Ottoman, and traditional Greek flavors fuse seamlessly in the historic Ladadika district and lively open-air tavernas. The heartbeat of daily life flows along its famous waterfront promenade, where locals and travelers alike gather for evening strolls toward the grand, neoclassical Aristotelous Square. Host to globally renowned annual events like the Thessaloniki International Film Festival, the city effortlessly balances cosmopolitan sophistication with a relaxed, welcoming coastal lifestyle, cementing its status as one of Southeastern Europe's most dynamic and enchanting destinations.
