ECAI 2023 conference for the first time in Poland - in Krakow
ECAI, or the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence, is undoubtedly one of the most important events in the field of artificial intelligence in Europe and the world. Organized for more than 40 years by the European AI Association (EurAI), the conference is a meeting place for leading scientists and experts in the field.
The ECAI conference is organized periodically by national AI associations in Europe. Last year, the Polish Association of Artificial Intelligence (PSSI) won the competition to organize this prestigious event. In October, ECAI will come to Poland for the first time, to Krakow. Given the traveling nature of the conference, this is a unique opportunity for the Polish scientific and business community.
The conference, whose committee is headed by Prof. Ann Nowe (Vrije Universiteit Brussels), received nearly 2,000 submissions from 58 countries and six continents. This year's program committee, coordinated by Prof. Kobi Gal (Ben Gurion University, University of Edinburgh), includes more than 2,600 scientists from around the world. The organizers expect more than 1,000 participants from around the world. The conference will consist of a series of events. On 30.09-01.10 on the campus of the Jagiellonian University, in the buildings of the departments of Physics (WFAIS) and Mathematics (WMiI), 30 workshop and tutorial sessions will be held to accompany the sessions for young scientists including PhD students. The main part of the conference, will begin on the evening of 1.10 and planned for three consecutive days 2-4.10, and will be held at Krakow's modern ICE Conference Center overlooking Wawel Hill. The organizing committee of ECAI2023 is headed by Prof. Grzegorz J. Nalepa (President of PSSI, Professor at WFAIS UJ), and includes Pro Dean Pawel Wegrzyn (WFAIS UJ), Prof. Adam Roman (WMI UJ) and Dr. Krzysztof Kutt (Secretary of PSSI, WFAIS UJ).
In addition to paper presentations, the scientific program includes five invited lectures. An important highlight of the program will be an industrial session organized in cooperation with the Krakow Technology Park. The sponsors, 11 companies developing and using AI-based technologies, will present their solutions, and speak during panel discussions.
The ECAI 2023 conference has received very significant organizational support from the Mayor of Krakow and Jagiellonian University. The Krakow Technology Park and AGH University of Science and Technology are also involved in the organization. Numerous important universities and organizations, including the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences, KI-PAN, Poznan University of Technology, Wroclaw University of Economics and many others, have assumed scientific patronage of the event.
