A welcome message to EUSIPCO-2014 and Seasonal School participants
EURASIP extends a warm welcome to all EUSIPCO-2014 participants and attendees of one of the 2014 EURASIP Seasonal Schools as 2015 members of the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP). Your membership, which is valid through December 31, 2015, has been covered by your EUSIPCO-2014 or Seasonal School registration. We sincerely hope you will appreciate our Association's activities and initiatives.
EURASIP members enjoy a number of member benefits: EURASIP members receive EURASIP journals and selected books by Elsevier at discounted member prices, and enjoy registration fee discounts at a number of conferences that are organized in co-operation with EURASIP. In addition, EURASIP members receive a 10% discount on Open Access publication charges for their publications in EURASIP/SpringerOpen journals.
To learn more about our member benefits, upcoming conferences and other EURASIP news, please visit the EURASIP website. We would also like to take the opportunity to draw your attention to our Open Library with freely downloadable PhD Theses and Conference Proceedings (e.g., EUSIPCO proceedings), as well as to invite you to make PhD Theses from your institution available through our PhD Theses database.
