The 25th International Workshop on Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation (ENDE2022) took place from 13 to 15 June 2022 as a virtual event, organized in Budapest by the Budapest University of Technology and Economics and the Centre for Energy Research, Budapest. The technical organization of the workshop was provided by Diamond Congress Ltd.

This workshop had originally been planned for 2020, but was postponed by two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and even in June of 2022, it was held as a virtual event due to the travel restrictions still in force in several countries. This meant that ENDE2022 became the first online event in the quarter-century long history of the workshop series. We do believe that ENDE2022 accomplished its mission of ensuring the continuity of the ENDE series during a difficult time, and our scientific community benefited from this opportunity to gather and share recent results related to electromagnetic nondestructive evaluation.

In total, 26 contributions from 10 different countries were accepted for presentation at the workshop, and 32 attendees participated at the event. At the beginning of the workshop, Sandor Bilicz, the general chair of the workshop, and Christophe Reboud, chair of the International Standing Committee, welcomed participants to the workshop. After that, each presenter was given 15 minutes for their talk, followed by 5 minutes to discuss the presentation. The contributions were organized into 5 sessions over 2 days, chaired by experts of the field as follows:

Analytical and numerical modelling (chair: Antonello Tamburrino)

Inverse problems, imaging and signal processing (chair: Dominique Lesselier)

Advanced sensors (chair: Christophe Reboud)

Non-destructive testing and evaluation (chair: Gui Yun Tian)

Complex material characterization (chair: József Pávó)

Thanks to the technical team of organizers, the implementation of the online platform for the presentations and discussions was of high quality, giving the impression of an in-person event with space for fruitful discussions. The third day of the event was devoted to the online meeting of the International Standing Committee.

Short versions of all presented papers were published electronically in the digest of the workshop. Eleven full papers were accepted after peer-review and are published in this book of proceedings.

We would like to thank again all participants, reviewers, chairs and members of the local organizing committee for their contribution to the success of ENDE2022.
