Eurocrypt 2025

May 4-8, 2025

Madrid, Spain

Call for Affiliated Events

IACR is soliciting proposals for affiliated events to be held in conjunction with Eurocrypt 2025, on Saturday, May 3, and/or Sunday, May 4 in Madrid. Each such event is expected to provide a forum discussing a specific topic of the broad cryptographic world (theory, practice, implementation, standardization, etc.). The format of the event (e.g., workshop, tutorial, etc.) is up to the organizers.

Second call: As we still have a few slots available, we are opening a second call for affiliated events. Second submission deadline for proposals is December 6th, 11:59 (AoE).

Information to Submitters

Organizing an affiliated event should be relatively simple. All registration and local organization is handled by the IACR (through the General and Workshop Chairs). Proposers need to identify a topic, decide on the format and, if accepted, coordinate the programme/speakers according to the general schedule guidelines provided by the local organizers.

For each event, the local organizers will provide:

  • Conference room with a projector
  • Lunch and coffee breaks
  • Internet access
  • Registration services (registration desk, nametags, etc.)

The registration fee for attendees of affiliated events will be charged via the registration process and will cover the incurred costs for the location, catering and equipment. Being registered for a given day of workshops enables a participant to attend this workshop, and, if space allows it, any other workshop of that particular day.

Any additional costs (e.g. programme costs, reimbursement of invited speakers or printing of proceedings) are the responsibility of the individual workshop organizers.

The organizers of accepted events are expected to maintain an updated website (which will be linked from the Eurocrypt 2025 website) containing all relevant information for participants. In addition, while the local organization will provide all technical equipment (laptops, projector, etc. ) and basic technical support, workshop organizers will be responsible for all in room arrangements (e.g. collecting and projecting slides).

Submission Format for Affiliated Event Proposals

Proposals for affiliated events should be submitted by sending a document (in pdf) to eurocrypt2025workshops at iacr.org by the submission deadline, September 4 (AoE) including the following information (in this order):

  1. Name (and possible acronym) of the event
  2. Names and contact information of the organizers. Include the names of at least two contact people that will be present during the workshop.
  3. Length of event (1-2 days); if 1 day, indicate flexibility for dates
  4. A proposed format (workshop with submitted/invited talks, tutorial, panel, etc.) and potential speakers (if applicable, not complete, and no commitment). Please specify if you have any other requests.
  5. Abstract summarizing the proposed event and its justification
  6. In the case of events involving a submission process:
  7. Estimated number of attendees total and an expected number of student attendees
  8. A one-paragraph biographical sketch for each organizer, describing relevant qualifications, including research and conference/workshop organizing experience
  9. Funding sources that may be used and for what purposes (note: no commercial advertisement, banners, merchandise, etc. allowed)
  10. Information of previous similar events (incl. organizational information such as attendance number), if applicable
  11. Link to draft website (if exists)

Proposal Evaluation Criteria

Given the limited amount of conference rooms available, events will be selected based on their novelty, importance, and interest that they may have in the cryptographic community.
