On March 13-14, 2025, we organized a workshop at Linköping University, Sweden. The event aimed atÌý

• Introducing information theory and coding theory to researchers from relevant disciplines with a basic background in probability theory and/or security/privacy
• Introducing the state-of-the art information-theoretic methods applied to cutting-edge applications
• Supporting the gender & diversity aspects within these research areas within Sweden and internationally
• Illustrating the elegance of Shannon theory
• Supporting strong female researchers working on these areas
• Increasing visibility of information and coding theoretic research and their impact on the future of communication systems, distributed computation systems, cryptography, machine learning, biology, etc.

Held in Linköping University’s Ada Lovelace seminar room, named after the world’s first computer programmer, this workshop provided a fitting venue for forward-looking discussions on information and coding theory. Expert tutorials were delivered byÌý

• Elsa Dupraz (IMT Atlantique, France)
• Elza Erkip (NYU Tandon School of Engineering, U.S.A.)
• Si-Hyeon Lee (KAIST, South Korea)
• Parastoo Sadeghi (UNSW Canberra, Australia)
• Linda Senigagliesi (ENSEA, France).

Onur Günlü, the head of the Information Theory and Security Laboratory (ITSL) at the Information Coding Division, served as the main organizer together with Michael Lentmaier from Lund University.
