Nominations Open for ISCA Distinguished Lecturers 2024

We are now open for nominations for ISCA’s Distinguished Lecturers scheme for the period 2024-25.

This outreach scheme supports leading researchers in Speech Communication to deliver lecture tours in regions where our field is under-represented.

Distinguished Lecturers normally serve for 2 years, during which time they typically undertake 3 lecture tours.

Details of the DL scheme, including the nomination form, are available on the ISCA Web Site here.

Each nomination should include the following information:

•  a short biography of the candidate

•  a selected summary of publication,

•  a personal website, or a resume that provides equivalent information,

•  topics/titles of up to three possible lectures that the nominee could give.

Please note that the nominator must ensure the candidate is willing to serve if elected. Nominations from previous years will be only considered if they have been updated. Self-nominations are permitted, but must include a letter of support from an ISCA Fellow or Board Member.

Update of Interspeech 2024

Due to the current security situation in Israel and after consulting the ISCA board, the Interspeech 2024 organizing committee decided to move the conference venue to another country in the eastern Mediterranean – Greece. Details will be provided on the conference website.

We hope that the Interspeech Conference will be hosted in Jerusalem in the future.
