Dear Colleagues and Friends,

In response to numerous requests, we have extended the paper submission deadline to 30 April 2025.
For many of us, celebrating Seasonal Holidays, which fall on April 20-21 this year, the original extension deadline of April 22 may have felt a bit too tight. That’s why we are giving you a little extra time to finalize and submit your excellent contributions to RadarConf2025, taking place in Krakow, Poland, from October 4-9, 2025.

Think of it as the perfect reason to take a break, clear your mind, and enjoy some well-deserved downtime – wherever you are.

The entire RadarConf’25 Team wishes you joyful and peaceful Seasonal Holidays, whether you are spending it with loved ones, with your family, or simply enjoying some solo time, just the way you like it.

Warm Regards,
RadarConf’25 Organizing Team

Aim & Scope

The 2025 IEEE Radar Conference will be held in Krakow, Poland, for the first time, jointly sponsored by the Aerospace & Electronic Systems Society (AESS), the IEEE Poland Section, and Polish Joint Chapter AP/AES/MTT. The 2025 conference will focus on joint radar and communications involving the latest radar technologies through plenary talks, special sessions, tutorials, and the radar boot camp.

Original papers describing significant advances in radar technologies, systems, applications, and techniques are sought. Prospective authors should prepare a 4-6 page full paper (including figures) using the IEEE format.

Krakow, also spelled Cracow, one of the largest cities in Poland, is known primarily for its grand historic architecture and cultural leadership. With thousands of historic buildings and sites dotting the city, Krakow’s old town is worth special attention and consideration (on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1978). Its medieval marketplace, Rynek Glowny (the Main Square), has existed since the 13th century and is a true gem.

We look forward to welcoming you to Krakow,

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)

A Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion event is being planned. It will be focused on what it means to be an inclusive leader in today’s research community.

The Venue

The 2025 IEEE Radar Conference will be held at the ICE Krakow Congress Centre located in the very heart of Krakow. This business and cultural flagship of the city is a convenient place for the organization of diverse events. There are a lot of housing accommodations in the surrounding area. Krakow old town offers attendees a wide array of shopping, dining, and other entertainment options – all within easy walking distance of the hotels. The best way to discover this charming zone is to wander down its cobblestone streets without a specific direction. It is packed with fascinating landmarks, traditional Polish restaurants, souvenir shops, and open-air cafés that are always brimming when the sun comes out. Kazimierz and Nowa Huta (one of the largest planned socialist realist districts ever built, as a utopian ideal city) districts extend south and east of downtown, allowing visitors to further explore the city by foot, bike or tram.
