EN-IoT 2025 (MON 22-Sep-2025; KU Leuven)
2nd Workshop on Energy Neutral and Sustainable IoT Devices and Infrastructure
This workshop focuses on the network infrastructure and innovative approaches to developing energy-neutral devices (ENDs) that operate sustainably within their environmental contexts. Specifically, the workshop aims to discuss typical energy harvesting sources, operational environments, memory and computational resources and materials selection for ENDs, to delve into key END-enabling technologies and to provide insights into specific challenges for the future. The workshop organisers invite researchers, industry professionals and innovators to contribute papers and thus advance the state-of-the-art in sustainable IoT technologies and practices.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Design and optimisation of ENDs
- Sustainable materials and manufacturing processes for IoT
- Energy harvesting technologies and their integration into IoT systems
- Ultra-low power communication technologies and network protocols
- Environmental impact assessments of IoT systems
- Lifecycle management of IoT devices
- Policy and regulatory considerations for sustainable IoT
- Case studies and applications of sustainable IoT, e.g. in smart cities, transportation, agriculture, and healthcare
- Technical enablers for ENDs, e.g. energy management for IoT devices, backscattering, duty cycling and wake-up protocols, non-RF communication technologies, wireless power transfer for IoT, TinyML, federated learning in IoT and application scenarios
- Low-power machine-type communications in 6G
- Ambient IoT standardisation advances and perspectives.
This workshop is a collaboration between three Horizon Europe projects (SUPERIOT, HEXA-X-II and AMBIENT-6G, a COST Action (INTERACT) and the 6G Flagship.
