Call for Proposals for the Organization of ECCV 2024

The European Computer Vision Association (ECVA) invites candidate organizers to submit proposals for the organization of ECCV 2024.  The European Conference on Computer Vision is a premiere conference for computer vision research, organized in alternation with ICCV, the international version on the same topic. Where ICCV is organized in odd years, ECCV is organized in even years.  ECCV 2020 is being held virtually, ECCV 2022 is planned to be held in Tel Aviv, Israel. 

This is to call potential organizers to submit their proposals to organize the conference in 2024. There is no format to comply with but obviously the best and most complete among the proposals will have a good chance of being selected. Proposals should at least include the following information: dates, city, meeting site, hotels, and team details (general chairs, program chairs, finance chair, local arrangements, and some of the other members in charge of the program). ECCV is generally held in autumn (September / October) and submission deadlines should be synchronized with other top-vision conferences (in particular the CVPRs of the same and following year).

Given the precarious situation about the pandemic, economic situation or climate based travel restrictions we believe it is important for future organizers to make plans which are flexible with respect to the number of physical attendees and encourage candidate organizers to investigate hybrid participation models combining physical and remote participation. 

It might still be necessary to allow for the main venue to be capable of supporting 5,000 – 10,000 attendees and have sufficient space for the industrial exhibition, which generally means convention centres or similar venues. The team should contact the site in advance to make sure the intended dates are available and attempt to reserve those dates if possible. The proposal should include a preliminary budget.

At ECCV 2020, the general assembly of the ECVA will convene to discuss current matters and to select the organizers and the site of ECCV 2024. The date for that meeting will be fixed asap. 

The ECVA is composed of the general chairs and program chairs of the past editions of the conference. The ECVA will first decide on the order of the meeting and how to reach a conclusion. Then, proposers are invited to present their proposal in 10 minutes each exactly. (If there are many proposers the time for presentation may be shortened, of which fact the proposers will be notified.)

Material to illustrate the proposal must be submitted to ECVA (eccv-proposal@ecva.net) before August 15th, 2020. Proposers will be notified upon reception on time. Proposals will be forwarded to the ECVA members.
