About the workshop

In synergy with the IEEE Conference RFID-TA, which will be held in Valence from October 27th to 30th, 2025, the CNRS GdR “DEFIE” and “ONDES,” the PEPR Future Networks, and the LabEx Microelectronics are pleased to organize a joint workshop on sustainable-by-design wireless technologies to address the question of whether they reduce the environmental footprint of electronics.

In recent years, the environmental impacts of the electronics sector have significantly grown, notably due to the widespread adoption of IoT. In this context, more and more researchers are seeking innovations to meet the environmental challenges facing the electronics industry, employing multi-factorial studies and methodologies.

The afternoon of Thursday, October 30th, will be dedicated to three invited international high-level talks dealing with the general question of sustainability and a brief presentation of the co-organizers of the Workshop.

Friday, October 31st, five invited talks will focus more on the wireless technologies and a round-table discussion will follow where the audience will have the opportunity to engage with the speakers on the broader question of the environmental impact of these technologies. A concluding and networking lunch will be offered to all participants.

About the organizers:

 GdR DEFIE: 

The GdR DEFIE bring together laboratories and research teams involved in the sustainable electronics sector. More than 210 researchers interested by mid-June 2025 are involved in micro and nano-electronics, electronic radio frequency, power electronics, optoelectronics, materials engineering, process engineering and supply chains. Its objectives are to

  • foster exchanges with companies and other stakeholders, notably through annual study days and a partner club, 
  • animate the scientific community concerned (Thematic Groups, workshops, seminars and summer schools, stays of young researchers, thesis prizes).   
  • To produce prospective documents and technology watch.
  • To do joint or concerted responses to national and European APs or requests from industrial partners.
  • To produce a state of the art of higher education in this field, white papers.

LabEx Microélectronique:

The Microelectronics Labex is a French research initiative embedded in the Grenoble microelectronics ecosystem. It focuses on addressing future semiconductor challenges, including device miniaturization, advanced RF components, and sustainable chip technologies.

Its research covers materials science, 3D stacking, photonics, and CMOS integration for applications in AI, healthcare, telecoms, and IoT.

The Labex supports scientific innovation through project funding, equipment investment, and researcher training. It aims to boost Grenoble’s global leadership in microelectronics. Education, sustainability, and collaboration with industry are central to its mission.

 

PEPR Future Networks: 

In the dynamic of France Relance, 5G and future telecommunications network technologies have been identified as a target market with high growth potential on which France has real capabilities. On July 6, 2021, the State launched a dedicated acceleration strategy in order to make 5G a tool for industrial competitiveness and reposition France at the forefront of future network technologies. As part of this strategy, the government has decided to support R&D activity through the PEPR 5G Priority Research Program and Equipment and Future Networks. The scientific steering of this PEPR was entrusted to the CEA, the CNRS and the IMT.
