About IEEE ANTS

IEEE ANTS is a premier IEEE conference on advanced networking and telecommunications topics. IEEE ANTS is financially and technically supported by IEEE Communications Society. The distinguishing characteristic of IEEE ANTS is the promotion of an intense dialogue between academia and industry to bridge the gap between academic research, industry initiatives, and governmental policies.

Early Career Research Forum
  • Scope

    • An excellent opportunity for industry and leading research labs to identify promising early career researchers and establish collaboration to develop future technology of common interest.
    • Excellent Opportunity for Researchers to win awards and gain recognition.
    • Submission from national and international researchers are highly encouraged.
  • British Telecom India Research Center Awards: Categories and Awards
