    Call for Proposals for the 30th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO) in 2022, and beyond
    The European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP) invites proposals from potential organisers for future (2022, 2023 and beyond) editions of its flagship event: the European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO). Traditionally held in late August/early September, EUSIPCO's purpose is to “improve communication between groups and individuals that work within the multidisciplinary, fast-growing field of Signal Processing in Europe and elsewhere, and to exchange and disseminate information in the field all over the world”.

    EUSIPCO is a well-established platform favoured by scholars and professionals for disseminating and discussing all aspects of signal processing. It features plenaries; tutorials; lectures and poster sessions; as well as an exhibition, and can host additional satellite events.

    Proposals should include the following preliminary information:
  • Proposed dates;
  • Organizing committee members, including biographic information;
  • A budget, which includes anticipated financial and in-kind support;
  • Information about the location (conference venue as well as city and its surrounding area) and what it has to offer.

  • Proposals are warmly invited and should be submitted to the EURASIP Director for Conferences (Augusto Sarti, augusto.sarti@polimi.it).
