1. Create an account on https://openreview.net using your institutional e-mail, unless you have already.
Note that this is the same platform as used for the major computer vision and machine learning conferences. We use it for handling and reviewing applications.
If you receive a warning that the account creation may take up to two weeks, this is because you are trying to use a personal e-mail or your institute is not yet recognized by OpenReview. In the latter case, ask for your institute to be added via the contact form displayed to you when attempting to create an account (see image on the right). Typically this process takes only a few days, not weeks.
If you only have a personal e-mail, you can still register. It takes about 1-3 days to be approved by OpenReview (see FAQ)
