3rd Workshop on Energy-Neutral & Sustainable IoT Devices and Infrastructure

Batteryless sensing works in the laboratory. Turning it into infrastructure that an operator can depend on means designing the sensor and the radio link together, so that a node harvests what it needs, measures when it can, and transmits when the channel allows. EN-IoT 2026 brings researchers from both sides of that divide into one room to work through what still stands between isolated proofs of concept and scalable, energy-neutral sensing systems that run without maintenance.

The workshop is co-organised by researchers active in European IoT and 6G initiatives that address energy-neutral devices, low-power networking, sustainable IoT and future connectivity. Topics span energy-neutral sensors, ultra-low-power IoT, wireless power transfer, ambient IoT, TinyML and sustainable electronics, with particular attention to the interface between the sensor and the connectivity that carries its data.

The half-day programme runs as three 50-minute sessions. Contributions are invited by 2 October 2026 in the form of short abstracts, demo proposals or challenge statements, with no full paper required. Selected submissions are condensed into a 20-minute interactive flash session. Contributions are non-archival and do not appear in the IEEE proceedings.
