28^th - International Conference on Pattern Recognition

Call for Tutorials

The ICPR 2026 Organizing Committee invites proposals for tutorials in conjunction with the 28th International Conference on Pattern Recognition, which will be held at Lyon, France, during August 17-21, 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.

Guideline for Submitting Tutorial Proposals

• 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

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

Costs and Terms

Tutorials are free for all participants with full ICPR2026 registration. If a person wishes to attend only the tutorials (without the full ICPR2026 registration), then a tutorial-only registration will be available. Participation in tutorials is limited to the room capacity. ICPR2026 participants who wish to attend a tutorial should register for it and will be admitted on a first come, first served basis.

ICPR 2026 reserves the right to cancel a tutorial if the responsibilities are not fulfilled by the proponent, or if too few attendees register for the event, or for any unforeseen reason.
