Candidacies are welcome for seats in the executive committee or as president. Spread the word if you know suitable candidates!

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.

More information on the ICANN 2019 website.

We have noticed the existence of an organisation claiming to organise the ICANN 2018 conference without any authorization from the ENNS. The organisation, called WASET, has 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 organisation and discourages anybody from participating to their events.

The legit homepage for ICANN 2019 is:  https://e-nns.org/icann2019/

The 28th International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks will be held in Munich, Germany, 17th – 19th September, 2019 (dates changed!)
