The 2nd ElectroSense Workshop

May 28-29 2020 at KU Leuven, Belgium

Announcement!

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we have decided to cancel this year's Electrosense workshop. We feel this cancellation is in line with guidance from the World Health Organization and is in the best interest of public health and the safety of our participants. We apologize for the inconvenience this decision causes and are looking forward to hosting the next workshop in 2021!

About

The ElectroSense association has been has established in 2016 with the objective of providing a more efficient, safer and more reliable use of the electromagnetic space by improving the accessibility of Spectrum data for the general public. Following the growing interest around the initiative, we are proud to announce the second Electrosense workshop. This two-day event will take place in Leuven (Belgium) on May 28/29 2020. The event is targeted at anyone interested in research and applications with spectrum data. The workshop will serve as a forum to discuss new ideas, the network itself, and research activities around Electrosense.

Participants are invited to actively contribute to the program by presenting their projects at the workshop. We anticipate that there will be many opportunities to get to know the community during the social activities around the workshop program. We invite participants from research, authorities, regulators, and industry.
