=======================================================================

The International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN) is 
the annual flagship conference of the European Neural Network Society 
(ENNS). In 2023 the School of Engineering of Democritus University of 
Thrace, Greece, will organize ICANN 2023. This will be held at Astoria 
Capsis Hotel at Heraklion city, Crete, Greece from 26th to 29th of 
September 2023.

The conference will be organized as a HYBRID event.

CONFERENCE TOPICS

Models, Bayesian Networks, Kernel Methods, Generative Models, 
Information Theoretic Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Relational 
Learning, Dynamical Models, Recurrent Networks, Ethics of AI

Brain Inspired Computing:
Cognitive Models, Computational Neuroscience, Self-Organization, Neural 
Control and Planning, Hybrid Neural-Symbolic Architectures, Neural 
Dynamics, Cognitive Neuroscience, Brain Informatics, Perception and 
Action, Spiking Neural Networks

Neural Applications for:
Bioinformatics, Biomedicine, Intelligent Robotics, Neurorobotics, 
Language Processing, Speech Processing, Image Processing, Sensor Fusion, 
Pattern Recognition, Data Mining, Neural Agents, Brain-Computer 
Interaction, Neuromorphic Computing and Edge AI, Evolutionary Neural 
Networks

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTED SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATIONS
All scientific communications presented at ICANN 2023 will be reviewed 
and scientifically evaluated by a panel of experts. The conference will 
feature two categories of communications:
- oral communications (15'+5')
- poster communications.

CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS AND WORKSHOPS
ICANN 2023 organizers cordially invite internationally recognized 
experts to organize Special Sessions and Workshops within the general 
scope of the conference. Please submit your Workshop / Special Session 
proposal by the deadline (see SUBMISSION DEADLINES) to ICANN 2023 
organizing board by email at liliadis AT civil.duth.gr (Prof. Lazaros 
Iliadis, ICANN 2023 General co-Chair)

CALL FOR PAPERS
Authors willing to present original contributions in either oral or 
poster category may submit:
- A full paper of maximum 12 pages (including references) to be 
published in Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) 
series with individual DOI.
- An extended abstract of maximum 4 pages to be published in 
Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, without 
indexing.

In case the number of requested oral presentations is larger than the 
available slots the ICANN scientific committee will select which papers 
will be reassigned to a poster session. This selection will be based on 
the coherence of the program and is totally independent of the category 
of submission.

SUBMISSION DEADLINES
- Special session and workshop proposal submission: Feb. 28, 2023
- Full paper and extended abstract submission: Apr. 9, 2023

BEST PAPER AWARDS
ENNS will sponsor a maximum of four best paper awards. All awards will 
be presented during the final ceremony.

TRAVEL GRANTS
The European Neural Network Society sponsors a number of Student Travel 
Grants covering part of the costs for attending ICANN. Details will be 
provided on the conference website.
