Asiacrypt 2025

Affiliated Events

Call for affiliated events

Proposals for affiliated events should be submitted by sending a PDF document to the workshop chairs (listed at the bottom of this page) by June 10, 2025 (AoE).

The workshop organisers will provide for each event:

• Conference room with a projector
• Coffee breaks (lunch will be provided at the attendees’ expense at UCSB food services)
• Internet access
• Registration services (registration desk, nametags, etc.)

Information to Submitters

The organisation of an affiliated event is supposed to be relatively simple. The entire registration process, as well as the local organisation, is done by the IACR (via the general and workshop chairs). Proposers need to identify a topic and decide on the format. Upon acceptance, submitters will coordinate the programme and speakers according to the general schedule guidelines given by the local organisers.

The registration fee for attendees of affiliated events will be charged via the registration process and will cover the incurred costs for the location, catering, and equipment. Being registered for a workshop enables a participant to attend any of the workshops of that particular day, space permitting, as well as attendance of the cocktail reception of Asiacrypt 2025. If participants also wish to attend the main conference, they should register for both workshop and conference.

Any additional costs (e.g., costs of the programme, reimbursement of invited speakers, or printing proceedings) are the responsibility of the individual workshop organisers.

Organisers of accepted events are expected to maintain an updated website (which will be linked from the Asiacrypt 2025 website), containing all relevant information for participants. While the local organisation will provide all technical equipment (in-room computer, projector, etc.) and basic technical support, workshop organisers will be responsible for all in-room arrangements (e.g., collecting and projecting slides).

Submission Format for Affiliated Event Proposals

Proposals for affiliated events should be submitted in PDF format and include the following information, in this order:

1. Name (and possible acronym) of the event

3. Length of event (half or whole day)
4. A proposed format (workshop with submitted/invited talks, tutorial, panel, etc.) and potential speakers (if applicable, not complete, and no commitment). Please also specify if you have any additional requests.
5. Abstract summarising the proposed event and its justification

7. Estimated number of attendees total and an expected number of student attendees
8. A one-paragraph biographical sketch for each organiser, describing relevant qualifications, including research and conference/workshop organising experience

10. Information of previous similar events (including organisational information such as attendance number), if applicable
11. Link to draft website (if exists)

Proposal Evaluation Criteria

Given the limited amount of conference rooms available, events will be selected based on their novelty, importance, and interest that they may have in the cryptographic community.
