| EURASIP BoD Election Results 2020 |
The European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP) has recently held elections for its Board of Directors (BoD). On December 31, 2020, three current BoD members will end their term: Kostas Berberidis (1st term), Alle-Jan van der Veen (2nd term) and Toon van Waterschoot (1st term). The deadline for voting was September 18, 2020.
I want to thank all the candidates for their willingness to be involved in EURASIP. It is greatly appreciated.
I wish to congratulate Kostas Berberidis and Toon van Waterschoot for being re-elected to the BoD. I also congratulate and welcome our newly elected BoD member: Maria Sabrina Greco. The new term starts on January 1, 2021. I am looking forward very much to working with them.
My heartfelt thanks go to Alle-Jan van der Veen, who is leaving the BoD on December 31 after having served two terms on the Board.
On behalf of the entire Association, thank you Alle-Jan for your many contributions to EURASIP and in particular all your work for the BoD.

3 Minute Thesis (3MT) Contest at EUSIPCO 2020 |
After the successful past editions, the Technical Program Committee of EUSIPCO 2020 is offering for the sixth consecutive year a 3 Minutes Thesis (3MT) contest, where PhD students have three minutes to present a compelling oration on their thesis and its significance. This activity is sponsored by EURASIP. It is an exercise for students to consolidate their ideas so they can present them concisely to an audience specialized in different areas. Together with scientific and technical quality, EURASIP wants to promote transversal skills of PhD researchers such as oral and presentation skills,
and it also wants to help PhDs to gain visibility of their work.
To PhD students: If you are devoting or have devoted 3 or more years to your PhD, you could devote 3 minutes to explain it to a more general public, we challenge you!
Submission instruction
1) Create a video that best explains your work in a language appropriate to a signal processing general audience. The video should not be longer than 3 minutes.
2) Upload your video to a site accessible by the evaluation committee. The video should be accessible for viewing and downloading.
It is ok for the video to be hidden from search engines and accessible only with a private URL. However, it should not require a username/password to view.
You can use, for example, DropBox, Google Drive, or your institution’s web server. The video is the one that will be posted on the conference website,
so please make sure it is possible to download.
3) Submit your entry via email at 3MT@eusipco2020.org no later than Nov 27th, 2020.
Make sure you include a Title, 1-page abstract/summary, Name, Affiliation and a link to the video location.
Your one-page abstract will be included in the EUSIPCO 2020 proceedings.
A shortlist of ten finalists will be selected by a jury composed by two members of the EURASIP BoD and the EUSIPCO 2020 Student Activity Chairs.
The shortlisted papers will be presented in a special online session. Please address any questions related to the 3MT contest at 3MT@eusipco2020.org.
3MT Awards
Among the ten finalists, the top-three finalists will be selected based on the submitted presentations. The winner will be awarded with a Grand prize of 1000€.
The runners-up will receive an award certificate. The video of the winner will be posted online on the EURASIP website.
You can find the rules for the competition here.
IMPORTANT DATES
