CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
28TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PATTERN RECOGNITION
Lyon, France, August 17-22, 2026 
Contact: tutorials@icpr2026.org

The ICPR 2026 Organizing Committee invites proposals for tutorials
in conjunction with the 28th International Conference on Pattern
Recognition in Lyon, France, August 17-22, 2026. We seek tutorials
on emerging research topics, core techniques, and application areas
that are of interest within the ICPR community. An effective and
informative tutorial should provide a broad introduction to the
chosen research area as well as in-depth coverage of selected
advanced topics. Proposals that focus exclusively on the presenters’
own work or commercial presentations are not acceptable.

Guidelines for Submitting Tutorial Proposals

A PDF file containing the information outlined below must be
submitted by email to tutorials@icpr2026.org.

The proposal should contain the following information: 
 - Proposed tutorial title 
 - Names, titles, affiliations, emails, and brief bio sketches of
   the people delivering the tutorial 
 - Name and email of the lead person for communication and responsibility 
 - Preference for half- or full-day event (the latter requires a
   brief justification) 
 - Tutorial description with list of topics to be covered, along
   with a brief outline and important details; any innovative
   pedagogy employed; any hands-on participation, etc.
 - Expected target audience, in terms of both composition and
   estimated number of attendees 
 - List of citations and/or URLs to relevant publications and/or
   products of the tutorial presenters and other relevant related work 
 - A description of how this proposal relates to tutorials / short
   courses appearing at the last two ICPRs (and also other major
   related conferences since 2022) 
 - A description of and/or URLs to any planned materials or
   resources to be distributed to attendees

Proposal Assessment

Each proposal will be evaluated on the basis of scientific merit,
proposed structure, overall relevance, and how it complements the
main conference.
