Welcome from the Chairs
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce The 12th International Electronic Conference on Sensors and Applications (ECSA-12). The conference is sponsored by MDPI and the scientific journal Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220, Impact Factor 3.4, CiteScore 7.3). It will be held online from 12 to 14 November 2025.
After the success of the eleven editions from 2014 to 2024, this year's edition will focus on the following thematic areas where sensors are changing science:
S1. Chemo- and Biosensors;
S2. Physical Sensors;
S3. Sensor Networks, IoT, Smart Cities, and Health Monitoring;
S4. Sensors and Artificial Intelligence;
S5. Smart Agriculture Sensors;
S6. Electronic Sensors, Devices, and Systems;
S7. Wearable Sensors and Healthcare Applications;
S8. Robotics, Sensors, and Industry 4.0;
A student competition will also be held online for selected students' contributions (students as correspondences) exhibited in the:
S9. Student Session.
For more details of the competition, please click Event Awards.
This event will solely be online that allows participation from all over the world with no concerns about travel and related expenditures. This type of conference is particularly appropriate and useful because research concerned with sensors is progressing rapidly. An electronic conference provides a platform for rapid and direct exchanges about the latest research findings and novel ideas. Participation, as well as the "attendance" of this online conference, is free of charge.
Accepted Proceedings Papers will be published in the Engineering Proceedings (indexed within Scopus, ISSN 2673-4591) , and authors will be invited to submit their full manuscripts, which will be considered for publication in a e Special Issue in the journal Sensors after the conference. Please refer to Publication Opportunities for more information.
We hope the community will share this enthusiasm and help making this 12th edition a success—for many to come in the future.
Kind regards,

MDPI, the publisher of the Sciforum.net platform, is an open access publisher. We believe that authors should retain the copyright to their scholarly works. Hence, by submitting a communication paper to this conference, you retain the copyright of your paper, but you grant MDPI the non-exclusive right to publish this paper online on the Sciforum.net platform. This means you can easily submit your paper to any scientific journal at a later stage and transfer the copyright to its publisher (if required by that publisher).
