EWSN 2025 will host a Rising Stars Forum aimed at early-career researchers. This includes early-stage postdoctoral researchers and Ph.D. students conducting research on sensing, communication, computation, or any other embedded systems aspects related to the Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems. The EWSN Rising Stars Forum will offer:
A constructive environment for the Rising Stars to discuss their ongoing work with a panel of experienced researchers in the field.
An opportunity to initiate a personal network with other Rising Stars and leading experts outside of their own research groups.
The forum will be structured as a series of short in-person presentations, followed by discussions and feedback. Interested participants should submit a 2-page extended abstract of their work. Accepted abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings and indexed in the ACM Digital Library, SCOPUS, and other prominent digital libraries. It is also planned that the panelists will share their experience and advice on how to carry out successful research and start a career as a researcher. The early-career researchers who are selected must attend the forum in person. An award will be given for the Best Rising Stars Forum Presentation.
