This is to announce that the Call for Papers for DCASE Workshop 2021 has already been published. Also, we'd like to take this opportunity to announce that the organization committee of DCASE Workshop 2021 has finally decided that DCASE Workshop 2021 will be a fully virtual event that will last for 5 days from 15th to 10th of November, 2021. Due to the uncertanities of the COVID19 situation and the difficulty of organizing a hybrid event which works well for everyone, we decided to organize the workshop as a virtual only event.

The event will be organized with the goal of maximizing real-time communication between attendants but also supporting asynchronous communication. Moreover, in an effort to make the attendance to the workshop more compatible with everyone's other daily tasks, we are extending the workshop from 2 to 5 days, but only scheduling 1 or 2 sessions per day. We hope these changes are a better fit for the online nature of DCASE Workshop 2021. More information will come as the worskhop gets closer.
