In 2006, PIMRC will be organised for the 17th time. During the years, the annual event has received world-wide attention and acclaim. Three Finnish universities are proud to host PIMRC on 11-14 September 2006 at the Finlandia Hall in Helsinki, Finland. More than 900 paper submissions from 50 countries are expected to arrive by the submission deadline on 1 March 2006.
PIMRC’06 is a meeting ground for specialists contributing to "Diversity in Telecommunications" – the theme for PIMRC’06. Leading experts from industry, academia and regulatory bodies all have their share in making the event a truly quality one. On the other hand, PIMRC also offers a wonderful opportunity for young researchers to present and participate in an international forum. A number of measures will be taken in the planning process in order to further increase the exchange of information between specialists and in order to ensure the extent of "Diversity" at the event.
The programme for PIMRC’06 will be built from elements that allow participants from academia, industry and other types of organisations to select paths that interest them most. Programme elements include, among others, tutorials of high quality and panel discussions based on controversial topics. The exchange of information will be stressed in the presentation of key research activities in different parts of the world. Also the latest regulatory achievements will be discussed in technical sessions. All of these features contribute to the aspects offered on "Diversity in Telecommunications".
In September 2006, Finland holds the rotating European Union presidency. As a consequence, events held in Finland will be in the spotlight of the global media. The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Community for research will be launched just a few months after the conference. At PIMRC'06, the event participants can learn about the latest developments in the FP7.
Helsinki is a modern capital and an ideal location for a major international event. Conference participants have the chance to experience some of the best offerings of Finnish cuisine, culture and the immanent nature during their stay in Finland.
The organisers of PIMRC'06 wish You welcome to Helsinki, Finland - the home of mobile technology!
On behalf of the PIMRC’06 organisation,
