EURASIP invites proposals from potential organisers for the European Signal Processing Conference to be held in late August/early September. With the venues for the 2025-27 editions of the conference now officially confirmed, proposals are being solicited for editions beyond 2027.

EUSIPCO is a learned and professional platform for dissemination and discussion of all aspects of signal processing. It features plenaries, tutorials, lectures and poster sessions, as well as an exhibition, and can host additional satellite events. EUSIPCO is sponsored by EURASIP and technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Signal Processing Society. Each edition is ran by a distinct organizing committee consisting of an international group of scholars that are well connected to EURASIP, normally with the support of a professional conference organizer (PCO).

Potential organizers are invited to submit to conferences@eurasip.org a report containing the following information:

• Proposed dates;
• Key organizing committee members, including biographic information;
• Tentative budget, which includes anticipated financial and in-kind support;
• Information about the location and what it has to offer.

Deadline: 30 June 2025.
