========================
Call for Bids: ECIR 2014
========================
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. Previously the BCS-IRSG European Conference on Information
Retrieval Research (ECIR) has alternated between Britain (even years)
and continental Europe (odd years). From 2012, this constraint has been
removed.
The BCS-IRSG Committee is interested in hearing from bidders for
organizing ECIR 2014 in an EU country (including the UK). ECIR 2013 is
to be held in Moscow, Russia. Recent ECIR events have been held in
Barcelona, Spain (2012), Dublin, Ireland (2011), Milton Keynes, UK
(2010), Toulouse, France (2009), Glasgow, UK (2008), Rome, Italy (2007),
London, UK (2006), Santiago de Compostela, Spain (2005); Sunderland, UK
(2004); Pisa, (2003); and Glasgow, UK, (2002).
