Joint 6G-PHYSEC ESIT European Training School of Information Theory

The IEEE European School of Information Theory (ESIT) is an annual educational event organized this year by the IEEE Information Theory Society in collaboration with COST Action 6G-PHYSEC (CA22168). The objective of the school is to provide participants with the opportunity to learn from distinguished lecturers by attending long-format (3 hour) tutorials, to present their own work to obtain feedback and to start up collaborations, to hear about applications of information theory in industry, to participate in a stimulating and inviting forum of scientists. 

 

The 2025 Training School will take place over 5 days, from 4-9th May, which will take place in Domus Stella Maris, Via di Colle Ameno 5, Ancona (Italy).  

 

This year’s topics of the school include Shannon and coding theory, physical layer security, code-based cryptography, cloud-integrated networks, artificial intelligence, and continual learning, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, and integrated sensing and communication. The school features two types of lectures: tutorial lectures, delivered in the morning and having a duration of 3 hours (including a break and a final Q&A session), and lightning lectures, delivered in the afternoon and having a duration of 1 hour (including a final Q&A session). Tutorial lectures provide the student with a comprehensive introduction to a topic, covering its several facets and most promising research directions. Lightning lectures, instead, address a more specific research problem discussing cutting-edge solutions and techniques. 

 

Trainees who are self-funded are welcome to apply to attend the Training School and register directly with the training school at https://r8.ieee.org/italy-its/ieee-esit-2025/.
