IEEE-Eurasip Summer School on Signal Processing 

23rd-28th August 2026, San Servolo island, Venice, Italy

The 12th edition of the Summer School on Signal Processing (S3P-2026) will adopt the motto “From Signals to Foresight,” underscoring its emphasis on the evolving interplay between Signal Processing and Artificial Intelligence. The school will cover several interconnected topics aimed at exploring the complex relationships between multimedia signal processing and machine learning, examining how methods from each field can mutually benefit one another. International experts from diverse areas will present these issues from multiple perspectives, sharing insights and experiences that include the latest advances in deep learning for image and video processing, media generation and mixed reality, media security and integrity analysis, media compression and representation.

S3P-2026 will take place in Venice, Italy, at the San Servolo Island, at the premises of the Venice International University (univiu.org). The island overlooks the quiet waters of the lagoon, between Saint Mark's Square and Lido, where the International Film Festival takes place every year. It covers an area of over sixteen-thousand square meters that were once used for vineyards and gardens,  within a 10 minute boat journey from the main island using public transportation.

Important: Venice is a city on water with no cars, where you can only walk, crossing many bridges. Please specify any special requirements in the Notes section of the Application Form.
