Becoming a member of ISCA-SAC
ISCA-SAC renews itself from year to year and is dynamically passed on from one generation of PhD students in speech-related fields to the next. We get to know future members primarily through our events at Interspeech. However, we also welcome new members at any time during the year! Typically, you start out as a volunteer and help organize the ISCA-SAC events. If you want to get more involved, you can later take on more responsibility on the board of ISCA-SAC. Do not hesitate to contact us if you want to become a member and help to keep ISCA-SAC alive! Also check out the ISCA-SAC breakfast, which we organize during Interspeech to discuss the latest developments of the committee and to meet students who would like to volunteer!
Contributing to the ISCA-SAC website
We are happy about contributions to the ISCA-SAC website from enthusiastic students! There are several things that you can do to make a difference.
Here we list just a few, but new ideas are always welcome!
