The Iran Workshop on Communication and Information Theory (IWCIT) (Persian: کارگاه ملی نظریه اطلاعات و مخابرات) is an international academic workshop that is held annually in one of the Iranian University campuses. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers at the frontiers of communication and information theory worldwide to share and engage in various research activities.

IWCIT features world-class speakers, plenary talks and technical sessions on a diverse range of topics in communication and information theory. IWCIT is the only workshop in Iran with an emphasis on information theory, and is one of the three events that is supported by the related scientific chapter in IEEE Iran section.[1] This workshop is included in the IEEE Conference Publications Program (CPP).[2][3]
