Seminars

Within the EURASIP Seminars program, financial support from EURASIP can be obtained for inviting a speaker to deliver a lecture at the organiser’s institution. The invited speaker should have a strong link to EURASIP, such as for example EURASIP Fellows or Society Awardees.

Information for Prospective Organisers

If you are interested in organising a EURASIP Seminar, please contact the EURASIP Director for Technical Programs and Membership by email.
