The 36th edition of the annual IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC) will be held in İstanbul, Türkiye. Originally founded as a workshop in London in 1989, it developed over the years to become one of the two major conferences of the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) in wireless communications and networking, attracting technical communities from all regions and continents. Following a successful 2019 edition in Türkiye, the 2025 edition returns to İstanbul and will be held face-to-face. PIMRC 2025 will assemble worldwide experts to deliver keynotes, tutorials, workshops, industry panels, and high-quality technical sessions. Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers, as well as proposals for special sessions and workshops, addressing a wide range of topics in wireless and mobile communications, including but not limited to:
