Connectionists: ICANN 2024 - Call for Workshops and Special Sessions

[Sebastian Otte]

Call for Workshops and Special Sessions

The International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN) is 
the annual flagship conference of the European Neural Network Society 
(ENNS). In 2024, the ICANN will take place in Lugano, Switzerland.

Conference Dates: September 17 to September 20, 2024
Conference Venue: Campus of the University of Southern Switzerland and 
the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland, Via 
la Santa 1, 6962 Lugano-Viganello, Switzerland.
Conference Webpage: https://icann2024.org

We invite prospective organizers to submit Workshop and Special Session 
Proposals.

Special Sessions focus on specific topics within the general scope of 
the conference. Their goal is to provide a forum for focalized 
discussions on state-of-the-art research in their specific field.

Special Sessions have the same duration as a standard session (2 hours), 
and submissions should follow the same format as for the main conference 
track (12-15 pages, Springer format, peer reviewed). The internal 
organization of Special Sessions is up to the organizer (for example, it 
is possible to reserve more time for some distinguished speaker, or for 
a demonstration).

Workshops have a broader focus than Special Sessions; they have the goal 
to showcase specific methods and applications to the general conference 
audience.

While workshops normally feature peer-reviewed submissions, this is not 
obligatory for invited speaker(s). They can usually take up the entire 
conference day (or even more) and may feature a free format with 
presentations, panel discussions, brainstorming, etc. The program chairs 
are happy to discuss specific arrangements with prospective organizers.

The organizer has the tasks of helping to publicize the special 
session/workshop, providing a list of scientists who would be invited to 
submit articles, organizing the review process (if appropriate), and 
finally chairing the session.

Please send a short description of your proposal, including the 
responsible chairs, to program-committee at icann2024.org. We will then get 
in touch with you. For each accepted Workshop, we offer one free 
conference registration.

Deadline for Workshop and Special Session Proposals: February 1, 2024. 
Direct all questions to program-committee at icann2024.org.

Thanks for your contribution!
