Call for ICDAR2017 Awards

The ICDAR Award Program is an established program designed to recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the field of Document Analysis and Recognition in one or more of the following areas:

  • Research
  • Training of students
  • Research/Industry interaction
  • Service to the profession

Every two years, two awards categories are presented:

  • The IAPR/ICDAR Young Investigator Award (less than 40 years old at the time the award is made)
  • The IAPR/ICDAR Outstanding Achievements Award

Each award will consist of a token gift and a suitably inscribed certificate. The recipient of the Outstanding Achievements award will be invited to give the opening key note speech at the ICDAR2017 conference, introduced by the recipient from the previous conference.

Nominations are invited for the ICDAR2017 Awards in both categories.
