EUSIPCO
Name	EUSIPCO
Founded	1993
Discipline	Signal processing
Frequency	Annual

EUSIPCO is an annual international conference focused on signal processing research and applications, organized by the European Association for Signal Processing and hosted in rotating European cities. The conference gathers researchers, engineers, and students to present peer-reviewed papers, tutorials, and workshops, facilitating cross-collaboration among institutions such as the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Imperial College London, Technical University of Munich, and Politecnico di Milano. EUSIPCO serves as a forum linking developments from laboratories like INRIA, Fraunhofer Society, CNRS, and CERN to industrial partners including Siemens, Nokia, Thales Group, and Ericsson.

History

EUSIPCO originated in the early 1990s amid growth in European research networks and collaborations among entities like the European Research Council, European Commission, ESPRIT programme, and national agencies such as the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and Agencia Estatal de Investigación. Early editions featured contributions from research centers including Bell Labs, Philips Research Laboratories, TU Delft, and KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and showcased breakthroughs related to work by pioneers associated with IEEE Signal Processing Society, EURASIP, and institutes like Max Planck Society. Over the decades the event paralleled milestones tied to initiatives by Horizon 2020, projects coordinated at University of Cambridge, and collaborations involving University of Oxford and ETH Zurich.

Organization and Governance

The conference is coordinated by national sections and committees formed under the auspices of the European Association for Signal Processing and includes program and steering committees chaired by academics from institutions such as University of Paris-Saclay, Aalto University, Delft University of Technology, and University of Patras. Governance involves relationships with professional societies including the IEEE, IET, and regional bodies like the Academia Europaea and national academies such as the Royal Society and Académie des sciences. Administrative functions are supported by conference organizers drawn from universities like University of Southampton and research labs like TNO and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.

Conferences and Proceedings

Annual meetings rotate among European locations including cities like Glasgow, Vienna, Istanbul, Athens, Barcelona, Lisbon, Antwerp, and Zürich. Proceedings are indexed alongside publications from venues such as the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, ICASSP, ICASSP Proceedings, and journals like IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, Signal Processing (Elsevier), IEEE Signal Processing Letters, and EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing. Keynote addresses have been delivered by researchers affiliated with MIT, Stanford University, Princeton University, Columbia University, and national laboratories including Los Alamos National Laboratory and National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Technical Topics and Research Areas

The conference covers a broad spectrum including areas championed at institutions like Caltech, Johns Hopkins University, UCLA, and University of Toronto: audio and speech processing linked to work at Dolby Laboratories and BBC Research & Development; image and video processing as advanced by NVIDIA and Adobe Systems; machine learning intersections seen at Google DeepMind, OpenAI, and Facebook AI Research; compressive sensing tied to research from Rice University; and biomedical signal processing connected to collaborations with Karolinska Institutet and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. Other topics reflect themes from projects at Siemens Healthineers, Philips Healthcare, GE Healthcare, and universities such as University College London and RWTH Aachen University: array processing, statistical signal processing, sparse representations, sensor networks, pattern recognition, adaptive filtering, and multimodal data fusion.

Awards and Recognition

EUSIPCO confers distinctions analogous to honors given by bodies like the IEEE Signal Processing Society and EURASIP, recognizing best paper awards, student paper awards, and lifetime achievement awards associated with eminent researchers from Bell Labs, Queen Mary University of London, Università di Padova, and University of Edinburgh. Recipients often have ties to prizes and fellowships from organizations such as the Royal Academy of Engineering, European Research Council Advanced Grants, and national honors awarded by institutions like the Austrian Academy of Sciences and Italian National Research Council.

Membership and Participation

Participants include faculty, postdocs, and students from universities including University of Bologna, University of Manchester, Technical University of Denmark, and University of Twente, as well as engineers from corporations like Huawei, Intel, ARM Holdings, and startups spun out of labs at SRI International, Cambridge Enterprise, and ETH Zurich. Attendance typically draws program committee members and reviewers who also serve on editorial boards of journals such as Pattern Recognition Letters and IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing, and collaborates with events like workshops organized by NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, and regional schools run by CERN Summer Student Programme or Ecole Normale Supérieure.
