Call for Sponsorship
On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the 44th European Conference on Information Retrieval – ECIR 2022, we invite you to participate in the conference as a financial sponsor. ECIR is a top-tier international conference, spanning both academia and industry. It aims to foster communication and knowledge transfer between researchers and practitioners by promoting the use of Information Retrieval (IR) methods and technologies in industry and by raising public awareness of them. With a strong focus on the active participation of early-career researchers, ECIR is recognized as the premier European gathering place for current and future IR leaders and innovators to discuss and present the state of the art in connecting people with information.
ECIR sponsors contribute towards success of the conference and at the same time gain greater visibility among top international researchers and PhD students within this area. Your financial support will ensure that the costs of the conference remain accessible for students, and will improve the quality of the conference experience for all attendees worldwide. Moreover, as a sponsor, you will have the opportunity to showcase your company and recruit excellent candidates in the broad area of information retrieval and artificial intelligence. ECIR 2022 is planned to be a physical conference but due to the COVID-19 pandemic the it may be held entirely online depending on the circumstances.
Earlier sponsors of the conference include Amazon, Bloomberg, eBay, Google, and SalesForce.
The event will attract over 200 researchers and PhD’s from all over the world. Previous editions of the conference featured leading international experts as keynote speakers, including Prof. Ricardo Baeza-Yates (Institute for Experiential AI atNortheastern University), Prof. Ophir Frieder (Georgetown University) and Prof. Jamie Callan (Carnegie Mellon University). The unique factors of this event are the possibility to connect the corporate side of IR to the newest research advances, as well the opportunity to meet and listen to some of the most renowned names within the field, and mingle with researchers and PhD candidates during our industry day.
The conference organizers are also happy to discuss alternative opportunities to best suit your needs. If you have any creative or interactive ideas of activity we would be interested to talk to you about how we can incorporate them into a personalized package.
