Instituto de Telecomunicações will host the Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Signal Processing Society, Prof. Akihiko K. Sugiyama, on September 19th, 2025, at 11 am., Room VA4, Building of Civil Engineering, on Técnico (IST), Campus Alameda, Lisboa.
This lecture is coorganized by the IEEE Signal Processing Society and the Computer Society, the IEEE Student Branch of IST, Instituto de Telecomunicações, and INESC-ID.
This talk presents an easy and lazy way to write a technical paper for inexperienced authors. It incorporates unique features, namely, a slide-first principle and a three-point analysis. It is the key to success in building a good logical structure by presenting slides before drafting a paper. By analyzing the reviewers' task, three points, namely, the value of the paper, the trick to achieve it, and the solved problem, are identified as essential to a good logic. Three-point analysis is performed using a three-point analysis sheet specially developed for this purpose. The designated font size of 36 points forces the author to refine the essence repeatedly so that it fits in the designated space in the sheet. An illustration of "logical structure in research" is used to help three-point analysis. After a successful three-point analysis, the design of the paper title and the topic sentence of the abstract are straightforward with the value and the trick. Examples demonstrate how the three-point analysis is performed.

As part of its commitment to advancing research and innovation, Action CA20120 - INTERACT is continuing its training initiatives in 2025 with a rich calendar of events aimed at fostering skills and collaboration in the field of wireless communications.
INTERACT’s Training Schools and Training Days are designed to support researchers at all career stages through knowledge exchange and technical development. While Training Days are half- or full-day sessions held alongside committee meetings, Training Schools span 3 to 5 days and provide more in-depth training, often in collaboration with external entities.
Forthcoming highlights include:
8th Training School: Decision Making Systems in Wireless Communications: from Theory to Practice - 17-19 September 2025, Instituto de Telecomunicações and Escola Superior de Tecnologia e Gestão, Instituto Politécnico de Leiria, Portugal (https://interactca20120.org/training-schools/8th-training-school/)
INTERACT offers financial support for eligible trainees and trainers attending Training Schools, prioritizing Ph.D. students and young researchers from COST Member and Near Neighbour Countries. All applicants must register via e-COST (https://e-services.cost.eu) and follow the provided guidelines and templates (see the link below).
These training activities underline INTERACT’s mission to promote excellence in wireless communication technologies while empowering the next generation of researchers.
