Text Retrieval Conference
The Text Retrieval Conference (TREC) workshop series encourages research in information retrieval and related applications by providing a large test collection, uniform scoring procedures, and a forum for organizations interested in comparing their results. Participants in TREC examine a wide variety of retrieval techniques and retrieval environments, including cross-language retrieval, retrieval of web documents, multimedia retrieval, and question answering.

Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum
The CLEF Initiative (Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum) promotes research, innovation, and development of information access systems with an emphasis on multilingual and multimodal information with various levels of structure.
The CLEF Initiative is structured in two main parts: a series of Evaluation Labs, i.e. laboratories to conduct evaluation of information access systems and workshops to discuss and pilot innovative evaluation activities; a peer-reviewed Conference on a broad range of issues concerning evaluation and experimental IR.
