The 2013 Swedish Communication Technologies Workshop (Swe‐CTW 2013) will be held at Chalmers University of Technology on August 21–23, 2013. Swe‐CTW 2013 will bring together researchers and research students in the general area of communication technologies and related areas. The three day workshop provides an opportunity for researchers and research students to gather in a largely informal setting to share ideas, make contacts, and foster new collaborative links for the future. This year's workshop is based on the previous Swe‐CTW held in Stockholm and Lund and modeled on similar successful events in Denmark and Australia, emphasizing the active participation of young researchers and research students. In addition to the workshop, the aim is to have two tutorials.
