The European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR) is the main
European research conference for the presentation of new results in the field of information retrieval (IR).
It is organized by the Information Retrieval Specialist Group of the British Computer Society (BCS-IRSG).
The event started its life as the Annual Colloquium on Information Retrieval Research in 1978 and was
held in the UK each year until 1998 when it was hosted in Grenoble, France. Since then the venue has
alternated between the United Kingdom and continental Europe. To mark the metamorphosis
from a small informal colloquium to a major event in the IR research calendar, the
BCS-IRSG later renamed the event to European Conference on Information Retrieval. In recent years,
ECIR has continued to grow and has become the major European forum for the discussion
of research in the field of Information Retrieval.
Some of the topics dealt with include:

IR models, techniques, and algorithms
IR applications
IR system architectures
Test and evaluation methods for IR
Natural Language Processing for IR
Distributed IR
Multimedia and cross-media IR
