This spring (April 7 – May 8, 2026) we are organizing an ELLIIT focus period on Wireless Sensing Technologies for Emerging Applications at Linköping University. More information about the focus period can be found here.
The highlight of the 5-week focus period is a three-day scientific symposium on April 21 – 23, with a strong line-up of internationally renowned invited speakers. See all speakers here.
The symposium is now open for registration. Registration is free, including a welcome reception (April 20) and a symposium dinner (April 22), but you will have to arrange your own travel and accommodation. The symposium will take place at Linköping University, Campus Valla.
More information, including the program and registration, can be found here.
The registration deadline for the symposium is April 1. The symposium has a limited number of participants, and registration will close earlier if that capacity is reached. Priority will be given to researchers connected to ELLIIT and to researchers involved in the focus period. Extra priority will be given for those registered for all three days.
Wireless Sensing Technologies for Emerging Applications
The application and utilization of wireless sensing technology have significantly broadened in recent years, transitioning from military uses to a vast number of commercial applications. We foresee a rapid emergence of innovative applications and services that will profoundly impact society in critical domains such as transportation, e-Health, critical infrastructure protection, smart environments, and robotics. Potential use cases encompass assisted navigation, drone detection and tracking, activity and movement monitoring (e.g., posture/gesture recognition, fall detection for the elderly, vehicle/pedestrian detection), environmental monitoring (e.g., rain/pollution detection), and the provision of contextual sensing data for AI, XR, and digital twin applications.
During this focus period, we aim to convene researchers interested in radar and communication systems to share their insights and address pivotal questions, such as: What novel applications and evolving requirements are driving the advancement of radar and communication systems? How can radar and communication systems coexist harmoniously while expanding into new frequency bands? What are the strategic advantages and inherent challenges in the integration of communication and radar systems?
