We have noticed the existence of several organisations claiming to organise the ICANN 2020 conference without any authorization from the ENNS. These organisation, including CoreConferences and WASET, have a long history of “organising” thousands of conferences every year with the aim of earning money with the registration fees.
ENNS declines any relation with the above mentioned organisations and discourages anybody from participating to their events.

As every year, ENNS sponsors a number of Travel Grants for students who have an accepted full paper at ICANN 2019 (International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks) and attend the conference.
Each grant has a fixed amount and covers part of the travel costs.
