SCOPE & MOTIVATION:
ACAIN: AI meets Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Science

The ACAIN symposium and course is an interdisciplinary event featuring
leading scientists from AI and Neuroscience, providing a special
opportunity to learn about cutting-edge research in the fields of AI,
Neuroscience, Neuroscience-Inspired AI, Human-Level AI, and Cognitive
Science.

The Advanced Course and Symposium on Artificial Intelligence  &
Neuroscience (ACAIN) is a full-immersion four-day  Course and Symposium in
Tuscany 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 colleagues, in a convivial and productive environment.

Two days of keynote talks and oral presentations, the ACAIN Symposium,
(September 23-24), will be preceded by lectures of leading scientists, the
ACAIN Course, (September 21-22).

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, exchange, collaboration and
efficient cooperation between the two research communities.  These are the
goals of the International Course and Symposium - ACAIN, which is aimed
both  at AI experts with interests in Neuroscience and at neuroscientists
with an interest in AI.  ACAIN accepts rigorous research that promotes and
fosters multidisciplinary interactions between artificial intelligence and
neuroscience.

The Advanced Course is suited  for scholars, academics, early career
researchers, Post-Docs, PhD students and industry leaders.

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.
