Call for Workshop Proposals
IWAENC 2026 will host a limited number of Satellite Workshops in conjunction with the main conference program. We invite proposals from interested researchers and research groups. Up to four workshops will be selected (two in the morning and two in the afternoon sessions). Workshops are intended to provide focused discussions on specific topics within the scope of acoustic and speech signal processing.
