September 16, 2025: Tutorials Date
The ICDAR 2025 Organizing Committee invites proposals for tutorials to be held on September 16, 2025 before the main conference commences.
Objectives
We seek tutorials on core techniques, application areas and emerging research topics that are of interest within the ICDAR community. The topic should be relevant and significant enough to attract interest from the ICDAR community. Typical audiences include PhD students in computer vision, image processing, and pattern recognition, as well as researchers and practitioners from academia and industry.
A good tutorial should provide a broad introduction to the chosen research area as well as in-depth coverage on selected advanced topics. Proposals that focus exclusively on the presenters’ own work or commercial presentations are not eligible.
To foster collaboration between academia and industry, the Tutorial Chairs strongly encourage proposals for industrial tutorials. These tutorials should focus on real-world DAR applications, presenting industrial solutions and challenges encountered in practical settings.
Proposal Guidelines
Proposals should be no longer than four (4) pages and must include the following information:
Proposed title of the tutorial;
Scope and motivation: A concise description of the tutorial, suitable for the conference registration brochure;
Presenter details: Names, titles, affiliations, emails, brief bio sketches, web pages, background in the tutorial area (e.g., relevant projects, publications, or tutorials), and evidence of teaching experience of all persons delivering the tutorial;
Corresponding presenter: Name and email address of the main presenter, who must be available for correspondence during the evaluation process;
Preferred duration: (half-day or full-day). Due to scheduling constraints, half-day tutorials are preferred. If a full-day session is required, please provide justification;
Detailed outline: A structured course description with the list of topics to be covered, along with a brief outline and important details; any innovative pedagogy employed; any hands-on participation, etc.;
Relevance to ICDAR: Explanation of why the topic is of interest to the ICDAR audience;
Expected audience: Target attendees, estimated number of participants, and prerequisite knowledge required;
Additional information: List of citations and/or URLs to relevant publications and/or products by the organizers, and to other relevant related work;
Related tutorials: a description of how this proposal relates to tutorials/short courses appearing at ICDAR (and also other major related conferences) within the last two editions;
Resources: Description of and/or links to any planned materials or resources to be distributed to attendees.
Evaluation Criteria
Tutorial proposals will be evaluated based on:
General interest and relevance for ICDAR attendees.
Complementarity to the main conference.
Quality and clarity of the proposal.
Expertise and presentation skills/experience of the presenters.
A strong proposal should be well-structured, clearly motivated, and appealing to the Document Analysis and Recognition community. Proposals should aim to attract a meaningful audience, cover current and emerging topics, and contribute valuable insights to the community. Tutorials should present well-established information in a balanced manner, rather than promoting a single research avenue or specific product.
Additional Notes
Tutorial slides will be made available on the ICDAR website, as well as on TC-10 and TC-11 websites, for educational purposes.
The ICDAR main conference organizers will manage tutorial registration and provide necessary logistical support (e.g., room, projector, screen, and coffee breaks).
Tutorial organisers are responsible for compiling and distributing notes to the participants and for leading the tutorial.
Submission Guidelines & Contact Information
All proposals should be submitted via email to the Tutorial Chairs:

Final acceptance (or rejection) decisions will be announced by March 31, 2025. Feedback and suggestions will be provided to the accepted tutorials by the same deadline.
