This is your chance to take part in a new international conference showcasing cutting-edge work around efficiency and security in satellite communications. Secure and Efficient Satellite Communications will examine the challenges of providing a secure and efficient service and consider some of the solutions being developed internationally.

Authors selected for the conference programme will benefit from:

• An oral or poster presentation slot at the conference
• Your full paper published in the conference proceedings
• Submitted for indexing on Inspec and IEEE Xplore
• With the author's permission, selected presentations may be filmed for publication on IET.TV

In addition, authors of the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper for publication in the IET Communications Journal.
