The seventh Workshop on electron cyclotron emission (ECE) and electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) as well as the IAEA Technical Committee Meeting on the same subjects were held in Hefei, China, from 9 to 11 May 1989. The Workshop was organized by the Institute of Plasma Physics, Academia Sinica (ASIPP), Hefei, under the auspices of the IAEA. About 40 delegates attended, with 30 participants coming from outside China. 50 papers were given, including six invited papers and six posters. The main subjects of the meeting were the theory of electron cyclotron resonance phenomena and the exploitation of these phenomena in plasma diagnostics (ECE) and plasma heating (ECRH). The meeting was lively and informative, and for almost every topic covered there were results which represent significant progress.
