Each tutorial is allocated 3 hours to concentrate on a single topic; tutorials take place in parallel sessions. To make the conference more accessible and inclusive, in addition to the standard tutorial suggestions, we particularly welcome tutorial proposals which either cover fundamental and introductory topics in MIR, or present an informative and stimulating coverage of current MIR topics in a manner that is targeted towards people new to the field. # Important Dates (AoE) - Initial Proposal Submission: April 9, 2021 - Final Proposal Submission: April 16, 2021 - Notification of Acceptance: June 4, 2021 # Submissions Initial proposals should be submitted as a PDF attachment via email to ismir2021-tutorials@xxxxxxxx by April 9, 2021.
