The International Conference on Consumer Technology (ICCT-Europe 2025) will bring together top technical professionals from the consumer electronics and technology industry and academia to exchange information and results of recent work on systems, circuits, technologies, processes, and applications.
ICCT 2025 follows the successful 12th IEEE ISCE, which was also held in the Algarve in 2008. It will provide a forum for researchers, system developers, and service providers to share ideas, designs, and experiences on emerging technology. The Algarve is the right environment to embrace ICCT-Europe 2025.
The IEEE Consumer Electronics Society sponsors the best paper with a financial prize. All papers will be published at IEEE Explore. A selected set of papers from ICCTEurope 2025 program will be invited for re-submission to special issues of peer-reviewed journals (IEEE CE Magazine, IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics) based on the reviewer’s feedback and the quality of the conference presentation. ICCT 2025 will be held in a privileged location in the heart of the well-known resort of Faro-Algarve, with its beaches and non-stop, year-round entertainment. The Algarve is connected by airplane to most major European cities.
Paper contributions are sought in but are not limited to the following areas:
CT01: RF, Microwave and Millimetre Wave Consumer Electronics (RME)
CT02: Audio/Video Systems and Signal Processing (AVS)
CT03: Automotive CE Applications (CEA)
CT04: Consumer Communications Networks and Connectivity (CCN)
CT05: Low Power Consumer Devices and Technologies (LCT)
CT06: Consumer Systems for Healthcare and Wellbeing (CSH)
CT07: Entertainment and Gaming (ENT)
CT08: Human-Machine Interaction and User Experience (HMI)
CT09: Internet of Things, Internet of Everywhere, and Edge Computing (IOC)
CT10: Machine learning, Deep learning and AI in CE (MDA)
CT11: Quantum in Consumer Technology (QCT)
CT12: Security and Privacy of CE Hardware and Software Systems (SPC)
CT13: Sensors and Actuators (SEA)

Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT) and the University of Aveiro presented the Secure Quantum Network of Aveiro on April 24. The initiative is part of the PTQCI project - Portuguese Quantum Communications Infrastructure - and featured a demonstration of the pilot version of the National Quantum Network, highlighting the potential of secure communications and computing based on quantum technologies.
The demonstration network is composed of five nodes: four located in the campus of the University of Aveiro, in the Departments of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics, in the Department of Physics, and in two buildings of IT, and a fifth node installed at the headquarters of Altice Labs, outside the university campus. The distribution of cryptographic keys through quantum technology guarantees encrypted message transmissions between different domains, confirming its potential for communication solutions that are highly resistant to any cryptographic attack.
This step represents a significant advance in the construction of telecommunications infrastructures supported by quantum technology, capable of being integrated into complex systems and ensuring a high level of protection for sensitive communications. The robustness and versatility of the solution demonstrate its value in contexts that require maximum security, with emphasis on applications in the field of National Defense.
The formal session was held at the Amphitheater of IT Aveiro, from 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm, and included a visit to the central node of the network. Among the guests were Prof. Paulo Jorge Ferreira, Rector of the University of Aveiro, Contra-Almirante António Gameiro Marques, Director-General, National Security Office, Dr. Marcelino Pousa, Director-General, Instituto de Telecomunicações, Prof. Armando Nolasco Pinto, UA & IT, and Dr. Catarina Cabral Bastos, Deimos Engineering.
