About ConfTELE
Telecommunications embraces a wide range of hardware and software technologies by connecting devices, sensors, computers and intelligent machines altogether, building delivery systems capable of processing signals, information and data. The ever increasing demand for new and better technologies, to improve standard of living of all people and to contribute for the future of sustainable societies, is continuously driving worldwide research efforts in academia and industry. The theme of this year’s conference is Telecommunications Technologies Pursuing Enhanced Quality of Life in Urban Environments.
The 2021 Telecoms Conference (ConfTELE), is the 12th conference on telecommunications organised by Instituto de Telecomunicações, aiming to bring together researchers, engineers and students to present and discuss the latest advances and newly emerging trends in all fields of telecommunications. The technical programme of ConfTELE 2021 includes plenary sessions with invited keynote speakers, parallel thematic sessions (including regular oral and poster presentations) and exhibition. The exhibition will display recent developments in the area of telecommunications, namely prototypes, services, applications and trials. The technical activities will be held in English.
Having been previously hosted in Aveiro (twice), Sesimbra, Figueira da Foz, Tomar, Peniche, Vila da Feira, Castelo Branco, and Lisboa (twice), ConfTELE 2021 will this year take place in Leiria, at Campus 2 of the Polytechnic of Leiria.
