SCOPE & MOTIVATION:
The ACAIN 2022 symposium is an interdisciplinary event featuring leading
scientists from AI and Neuroscience, providing a special opportunity to
learn about cutting-edge research in the fields.
While the Advanced Course and Symposium on Artificial Intelligence  &
Neuroscience (ACAIN) is a full-immersion residential (or online) Course and
Symposium at the Certosa di Pontignano (Tuscany - Italy) on cutting-edge
advances in Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience with lectures
delivered by world-renowned experts. The Course provides a stimulating
environment for academics, early career researchers, Post-Docs, PhD
students and industry leaders. Participants will also have the chance to
present their results with oral talks or posters, and to interact with
their peers, in a friendly and constructive environment.

Two days of keynote talks and oral presentations, the ACAIN Symposium,
(September 21-22), will be preceded by lectures of leading scientists, the
ACAIN Course, (September 18-20).

Bringing together AI and neuroscience promises to yield benefits for both
fields. The future impact and progress in both AI and Neuroscience will
strongly depend on continuous synergy and efficient cooperation between the
two research communities. These are the goals of the International Course
and Symposium – ACAIN 2022, which is aimed both  at AI experts with
interests in Neuroscience and at neuroscientists with an interest in AI.
ACAIN 2022 accepts rigorous research that promotes and fosters
multidisciplinary interactions between artificial intelligence and
neuroscience.

The Event (Course and Symposium) will involve a total of 36-40 hours of
lectures. Academically, this will be equivalent to 8 ECTS points for the
PhD Students and the Master Students attending the Event.
