'''Eurocon''' is an annual [[science fiction]] convention held in Europe. The organising committee of each Eurocon is selected by a vote of the participants of the previous event. The procedure is coordinated by the [[European Science Fiction Society]]. The first Eurocon was held in [[Trieste]], Italy, in 1972.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Iannuzzi|first=Giulia|date=2016-01-01|title=Electric hive minds: Italian science fiction fandom in the Digital Age|url=http://berghahnjournals.com/view/journals/romance-studies/16/1/jrs160107.xml|journal=Journal of Romance Studies|volume=16|issue=1|doi=10.3167/jrs.2016.160107|issn=1473-3536|hdl=11368/2943224|hdl-access=free}}</ref> Unlike [[Worldcon]]s, Eurocon is usually a title attached to an existing convention.
