    2nd Call Society Award Nominations

    Each year, EURASIP recognizes technical and professional achievements through its celebrated EURASIP Awards Program. As part of the organization’s overall mission to advance signal processing as a science and a profession, EURASIP’s Board of Directors annually evaluates the contributions of candidates for various awards that span a spectrum of professional and technological accomplishments.

    EURASIP Members are invited to nominate candidates for EURASIP Society Awards that fall into the following categories:

    • Meritorious Service Award
    • Group Technical Achievement Award
    • Technical Achievement Award
    • Athanasios Papoulis Award.
    • Early Career Award.
    For additional information on the scope and criteria for these awards, please visit the EURASIP website at www.eurasip.org. The website also gives details of the nomination process and copies of the nomination forms can be downloaded. A listing of previous award recipients with their award citations is also available on the EURASIP Awards webpage.

    Please submit nominations to the EURASIP Awards Director, Kostas Berberidis, by e-mail (berberid@ceid.upatras.gr). The deadline for nominations is December 31, 2017.

    We encourage you to share this information with your colleagues and peers.

    New Editor-in-Chief for EURASIP Journal on Information Security
    Starting Oct. 1, 2017, the EURASIP Journal on Information Security has a new Editor-in-Chief. The outgoing EIC, Stefan Katzenbeisser, has completed his 3-year term, and he will be succeeded by Fernando Pérez-González from the University of Vigo, Spain.

    Stefan leaves the journal in great shape, with a steadily increasing number of submissions, and an average time-to-first-decision of less than a month. EURASIP wishes to thank Stefan for all his efforts!

    For a message of Fernando as incoming EIC, and a brief bio, please check here.
