Call For Workshop Proposals

Since 1980, the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy has been the premier forum for presenting developments in computer security and electronic privacy, and for bringing together researchers and practitioners in the field. Following this story of success, in 2016 IEEE initiated the European Symposium on Security and Privacy (EuroS&P), which is organized every year in a European city. The 5th IEEE EuroS&P Symposium will be held in Genoa, Italy, on June 16-18, 2020. Pre-conference workshops will take place on Monday, June 15, 2020, and post-conference workshops on Friday, June 19, 2020.

A workshop associated with IEEE EuroS&P can be full or half-day in length. Each workshop should provide a forum to address a specific topic at the forefront of security and privacy research.

Submissions of workshop proposals must reach the workshop chairs by November 18, 2019.

If proceedings are planned, the default option offered is publication through IEEE Xplore in a volume accompanying the main IEEE EuroS&P 2020 proceedings.

Workshop registration will be done together with the main conference, allowing workshop-only registrations as well. Support for accepted workshops includes rooms, coffee breaks, lunches, and at least one free registration for the workshop. Other expenses must be covered by the individual workshops.
