The 16th International Conference on Telecommunications, ConTEL 2021, will be held in Zagreb, Croatia, on June 30 – July 2, 2021. Through its technical program, the conference will provide an opportunity for the academic and industrial communities to address new research challenges, share solutions and discuss issues in information and communication technology (ICT) referring to modern telecommunications.

The ConTEL 2021 aims to reflect on current and emerging networking technologies that enable ubiquitous Internet and communications as key drivers of connected information society. With new services and access networks, there is a growing need for improvement in networking infrastructure – not just in terms of quality and performance, but also in scalability, mobility, energy efficiency, and multiple technologies integration. Original research papers are solicited that present theoretical, as well as applied, practical and experimental work related to the areas and topics of interest listed below. The conference program will offer technical sessions, presenting the latest advances through peer-reviewed regular and special sessions, as well as workshops with focus on the latest breakthroughs in selected areas related to the conference. The format of the event will take into account the COVID-19 situation and travel restrictions. Our wish, and goal, is to have a live or hybrid event, with virtual participation as necessary. Stay safe and healthy and we hope to see you in Zagreb next year!
