        CIBB 2026: CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSION PROPOSALS
=====================================================================

Dear CIBB Enthusiasts and Newcomers,

The 21st edition of the Computational Intelligence Methods for
Bioinformatics and Biostatistics conference (CIBB 2026) will take
place at Sapienza University of Rome from 2 to 4 September 2026.

CIBB 2026 continues its tradition as an international, multidisciplinary
forum focused on advanced computational techniques for bioinformatics,
biostatistics, and medical informatics.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The Call for Special Session Proposals for CIBB 2026 is now open.

Special Sessions are intended to provide focused forums on well-defined
or emerging research topics within the scope of the conference,
promoting both scientific depth and community engagement.

=====================================================================
KEY INFORMATION
=====================================================================

- Submission deadline: February 12th, 2026

- Each Special Session must include at least 4 accepted papers.
  In the event that fewer papers are accepted, they will be incorporated
  into the conference’s main tracks.

- The conference will provide a dedicated webpage for each approved
  Special Session. This page may be used by the proposers to advertise
  the session, present its scope and objectives, and disseminate
  information to the research community.

- Approved Special Sessions will also be promoted through the official
  CIBB 2026 communication channels and social media profiles, in
  coordination with the session proposers.

- A Special Session may include one invited speaker, subject to approval
  by the Scientific Committee. The invited speaker should be a recognized
  expert with a strong record of contributions to the proposed topic,
  and should be external from the proposing committee of the special
  session.

  In case of approval, all the expenses for the participation of the
  invited speaker (travel, hotel, meals) should be covered by the
  special session proposers and not by the CIBB 2026 conference budget.

=====================================================================
PROPOSER RESTRICTIONS
=====================================================================

- Special Session chairs (up to two selected from the proposers) cannot
  present any submitted work in the session they are chairing.

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

  online form:
