SUMMARY:EuCNC & 6G Summit 2026 - Malaga\, Spain
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 EuCNC & 6G Summit builds on two successful conferences in the area of telecommunications: EuCNC\, in its 35th edition of a series\, supported by the European Commission\, and the 6G Summit\, in its 8th edition\, originated from the 6G Flagship programme in Finland\, one of the very first in its area. \nThe conference is sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc)\, the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP) and the European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP) and supported by the European Commission. \nThe conference addresses various aspects of Beyond 5G/6G communications systems and networks. It brings together cutting-edge research and world-renown industries and businesses\, globally attracting in the last years close to 1000 delegates from more than 40 countries all over the world\, to present and discuss the latest results\, and an exhibition with more than 50 exhibitors\, for demonstrating the technology developed in the area\, namely within research projects from EU R&I programmes. \nThe conference program will include: \n\nKeynotes\nPanels\nRegular sessions (papers from open call\, to be submitted for uploading to IEEE Xplore)\nSpecial and Convened sessions\, with papers on specific topics\nWorkshops\, with papers and presentations on specific topics\nPoster sessions\nTutorials\nDemos and exhibitions\, with pitches\nAwards in several categories (paper\, poster\, booth\, demo\, startup\, thesis)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKEY DATES\n\n23 Jan. 2026 – Deadline for submission of Papers for Regular Oral Sessions\n23 Jan. 2026 – Deadline for submission of proposals for Workshops\, Special Sessions and Tutorials\n06 Mar. 2026 – Deadline for submission of Extended Abstracts for Posters\n09 Mar. 2026 – Notification of acceptance of Workshops\, Special Sessions and Tutorials\n27 Mar. 2026 – Deadline for submission of proposals for Exhibitions\, Demos and Booths\n27 Mar. 2026 – Deadline for submission of applications for Ph.D. Theses and Startups\n30 Mar. 2026 – Notification of acceptance of Papers and Extended Abstracts\n10 Apr. 2026 – Deadline for final Papers for all sessions and Workshops\n13 Apr. 2026 – Notification of acceptance of proposals for Exhibitions\, Demos and Booths\n17 Apr. 2026 – Deadline for Authors registration\n27 Apr. 2026 – Draft Programme available\n\nSteering Committee Chairs\nLuis M.
