The IWS-6G 2025 (International Workshop Series on 6G), jointly organized by the 6G Communications and Sensing Research Center and the Institute of Communications Engineering, will be held at National Sun Yat-sen University from December 15 to 16, 2025. This two-day workshop will focus on cutting-edge developments in key 6G technologies, bringing together internationally renowned scholars to explore theoretical breakthroughs and practical implementations of next-generation communication systems.

The workshop features seven high-calibre invited keynote talks. On the second day, a live technical demonstration will be presented by the Communication Technology Laboratory (CTL) led by Professor Chao-Kai Wen of the National Sun Yat-sen University, will present a live technical demonstration. This will showcase a new-generation MIMO system based on the concept of user/terminal cooperation, highlighting the latest research advances in 6G physical-layer and system design. All sessions will be conducted in a hybrid format, enabling both on-site and online participation to facilitate broader international academic engagement.

IWS-6G 2025 will bring together an exceptional lineup of internationally renowned speakers, including Professor Zhiguo Ding (The University of Manchester, UK), Professor Octavia A. Dobre (Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada), Professor Shankar Prakriya (Indian Institute of Technology, India), Professor Geoffrey Ye Li (Imperial College London, UK), Associate Professor Sudhan Majhi (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, India), Professor Yuanwei Liu (The University of Hong Kong), and Associate Professor Sudip Biswas (Indian Institute of Information Technology, India). Their research has had a significant impact on wireless communications, signal processing, and key 6G technologies.

The workshop covers a wide range of frontier research topics in its core themes, including Pinching-Antenna Systems (PASS) and pinching beamforming, the convergence of wireless communications and quantum technologies, energy-aware massive Internet of Things (addressing battery efficiency, Age of Information (AoI), latency, and security), semantic communications, AI/ML techniques for the 6G physical layer, and federated learning under communication impairments. These topics not only address the demands of 6G for high performance, ultra-low latency, and intelligent operation, but also reflect the growing trend toward interdisciplinary integration in future communication systems.

The aim of IWS-6G 2025 is to establish a high-level international academic exchange platform that fosters in-depth dialogue between 6G theoretical research and enabling technologies and practical system implementations. This will enhance our center’s international visibility and influence in next-generation communications research.
