Selected proposals are to be presented at the business meeting of FSCD

hosting and organising of FSCD 2027 will be taken by the SC after an
advisory vote of the members of the community in attendance at the
business meeting.
Proposals should address the following points:
FSCD Conference Chair (complete name and current position), host
institution, FSCD Local Committee (complete names and current
positions), availability of student-volunteers.
National, regional, and local government and industry support, both
organizational and financial.
Accessibility to the location (i.e., transportation) and
attractiveness of the proposed site. Accessibility can include both
information about local transportation and travel information to the
location (flight and/or train connections), as well as estimated
costs.
Proposed dates: they are expected to be either during the week
starting on August 23rd, 2027, or that starting on August 30th.
They should include allowing 2-3 days before and/or after the
main conference for affiliated workshops. (Please also take into
consideration holidays or local events during the period).
Estimated costs of registration for the conference and workshops,
both for regular and student participants.
Conference and exhibit facilities for the anticipated number of
registrants (including all workshop participants, typically around 200).
For example:
= number, capacity and audiovisual equipment of meeting rooms;
= a large plenary session room that can hold all the registrants;
= enough rooms for parallel session workshops/tutorials in the two
days before and the two days after the main conference;
= internet connectivity and workstations for demos/competitions;
= catering services;
= presence of professional staff.
Support for hybrid attendance to the conference.
Residence accommodations and food services in a range of price
categories and close to the conference venue, for example, number
and cost range of hotels, and availability and cost of dormitory
rooms (e.g., at local universities) and kind of services they offer.
Other relevant information, which can include information about
leisure activities and attractiveness of the location (e.g.,
cultural and historical aspects, touristic activities, etc...).
