I am (yet again) a publicity (co-)chair (alongside Yifei Yuan) for the 48th European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR). I did the same for ECIR 2014! What changed in 12 years, you may ask? Well, I’m afraid the CMS we’re using for the website this time around didn’t seem to, at all…
Anyway, as part of my publicity chairing, I couldn’t stop myself and designed the new ECIR logo;
(the blue is a reference to Delft’s Blauw, of course, and the cracks/stuck together letters to the conference venue; a former glue factory!). See it in context on ecir2026.eu.
