Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that INNS (the International Neural Network Society) is launching a Virtual Technical Event series that will feature workshops, seminars, tutorials, discussions and so on. These technical events will occur throughout the year for a worldwide audience. We welcome proposals on challenging and controversial research topics and ones that provide new insights on biological learning. Through this series of virtual technical events, we would like to serve the growing need for advanced education in a variety of fields that are linked together such as AI, machine learning, neural networks, cognitive science, robotics and so on. Further details on proposal submission are available at https://www.inns.org/virtual-technical-events<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.inns.org/virtual-technical-events__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!Mvb9e7f-jx4nY56X5OgMBh4zbDMpDsob3zF0zWGe-xoIUbCLkU2TU2Hsg1YsH24TrgfD$>.

We also welcome proposals from the industry and industry sponsorship of these events.
