Join us in Christchurch, New Zealand’s “Garden City,” for IEEE ITNAC 2025, the 35th International Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference, taking place 26–28 November 2025. This premier forum will showcase peer‑reviewed technical papers, posters, and keynote presentations on:

Modelling and simulation
Wireline and wireless networks
Cyber‑networks and security
Distributed and cloud computing
Software‑defined networking
Other emerging technologies.

All accepted contributions will be submitted to major Abstracting and Indexing databases—including IEEE Xplore, EI Compendex, Scopus, and Google Scholar—and are eligible for Conference and Session Best Paper Awards, with student registration grants available via EDAS.

Original papers (up to six pages for full papers, three pages for short papers) must be submitted by 1 September 2025 through EDAS, with acceptance notifications on 1 October 2025 and camera‑ready manuscripts due by 15 October 2025. Early‑bird registration ends 20 October 2025, with standard fees thereafter.

IEEE PELS Chapter Technical Seminars (March-April 2025)

We had three great technical seminars at over the last few weeks which were well received by attendees.

On March the 26th, Professor Hiroshi Fujimoto from The University of Tokyo (Japan) gave an excellently detailed seminar titled “Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer to EVs: Japan’s First Demonstration on Public Road”. His seminar focused on sub-topics within the field of dynamic wireless power transfer – specifically sensorless coil detection systems, transient response control, a novel unsprung coil system, and methods of measuring and dealing with electromagnetic emissions in the roadway environment.

On March the 27th, Professor Patrick (Pat) Wheeler from The University of Nottingham (UK) gave a very engaging seminar titled “Power Electronics – the Enabling Technology for Transportation Electrification?”. His seminar focused on discussing the roadmap for transportation electrification, and the technological developments which are going to be needed to make these visions viable, as well as introducing research activities of the PEMC Research Institute at the University of Nottingham, UK.

And last but not least, on April the 29th, Ms Carina Damuis from The Technical University of Munich (Germany) gave a very insightful seminar titled “Technical University of Munich – Electrification of Transportation”. Her talk focused on discussing the roadmap for transportation electrification within her university, specifically her research on various types of energy conversion systems—ranging from purely electrical energy conversion to electromagnetic conversion in wireless charging systems, and electromechanical conversion in electric drivetrains.

Thank you very much to all those who attended! Please email PELS chair Patrick Lawton for any queries (patrick.lawton@auckland.ac.nz) or if you would like to reach out to Professor Fujimoto, Professor Wheeler, or Ms Damhuis with any questions regarding their seminars.
