Have a look on this link about an EBG conference in France at IETR.
Some oral presentations are available there.

My vision on EBG structures
As for me, we can separate EBG in two separate categories
1 planar EBG structure for dielectric substrates.
1.1 Local etching of the dielectric substrate (a=lambda/2)
1.2 Whole etching of the dielectric substrate : Hi-Zsurfaces (a<<lambda/2)
1.3 Drilling the substrate
2. Other volumic EBG structures
2.1 Metallic Photonic Bandgap material (MPBG)
2.2 active grid
2.3 EBG structure used as dielectric cover
3. Applications of EBG structures for dielectric substrates
3.1 Use of the "stopband" effect
=> Dielectric loss reduction by suppressing surface waves
Antenna efficiency improvement & Isolation improvement
=> Harmonic control
3.2 Use of the "passband" effect
=> Structures miniaturization
=> Phase shiftering
