Colleages
The BCS Information Retrieval Specialist Group (IRSG) has been running a
successful annual conference for young researchers in Information
Retrieval since 1979. Originally the event was started as a BCS-IRSG
Colloquium for Information Retrieval, but now has developed into a
European conference to reflect the increased popularity and importance of
the event. Currently the BCS-IRSG European Conference in Information
Retrieval Research (ECIR) is alternated between Britain (even years) and
continental Europe (odd years).
The BCS IRSG Committee is interested in hearing from bidders for
organizing ECIR 2010 in Britain. The next ECIR is to be held in and
Grenoble (2009). Recent ECIR events have been held in Glasgow, UK (2008),
Rome, Italy (2007), London, UK (2006), Santiago de Compostela, Spain
(2005); Sunderland, UK (2004); Pisa, (2003); and Glasgow, UK, (2002).
Interested parties should submit their proposal by email to the IRSG
Secretary (and copy to [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>)
Deadline for ECIR 2010 proposals: Midnight UTC Thursday 31st July 2008
More details of how to bid are attached, togther with an example budget
