The European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP) is pleased to announce this year's recipients of the Best Paper Awards. Recall, that for the year 2023, the journals which, according to EURASIP regulations, met the awarding requirements are the following:

• Signal Processing
• Signal Processing: Image Communication
• EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking
• EURASIP Journal on Image and Video Processing (JIVP)
• EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing

The papers considered for this year's awards should have been published within the period 2020-2023. The evaluation process has been completed and EURASIP congratulates the authors of the following papers that have been selected for Best Paper Awards. Also, EURASIP is deeply thankful to the Editors-in-Chief and all members of the Selection Committees for their valuable help in the awarding process. The awards will be presented at the Awards Ceremony during the Opening Ceremony at EUSIPCO 2025.

EURASIP Fellow nominations are invited with a deadline of October 31, 2025.
The EURASIP fellowship programme recognizes outstanding achievements of its members and volunteers. Each year, a select group of up to four signal processing researchers are elevated to EURASIP Fellow, the Association's most prestigious honour. Fellowships are awarded with a citation of the form “for contributions to …”, i.e. referring to a major long-term contribution to a technical field.

How to submit nominations
Any EURASIP member can nominate a colleague to be elevated to Fellow grade. Nominations should be submitted to the EURASIP Director for Awards by e-mail (awards@eurasip.org).
The nomination form can be downloaded from the EURASIP website at Fellowship-Nomination-Form.
The deadline is October 31st of every year.

The Board of Directors encourages you to share this information with your colleagues.
