The list of accepted papers at ECIR 2020 now been published. If like me, you are interested in the Industry Day then don’t be concerned that these papers do not appear to be listed. Presentations for the Industry Day are personally invited by the Programme Committee and will be announced in due course. I would like to highlight that Dr Chirag Shah, now an Associate Professor at the Information School, University of Washington, will be giving the 2019 Karen Spaerk Jones Award lecture.
