The 29th European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning will take place in Bruges, Belgium from Wednesday 6 to Friday 8 October 2021.  We hope that October 2021 will be the right time to organize a physical conference again, after the Covid-19 pandemic; current forecasts are optimistic for events organized after the summer 2021.  Of course health and safety of the participants are our top priority; in the unfortunate event that the situation is not safe yet, the conference will be organized online on the same dates.

This event builds upon a very successful series of conference organized each year since 1993. ESANN has become a major scientific events in the machine learning, computational intelligence and artificial neural networks fields over the years.

The two main tracks are "Theory and methods", and "Information processing and applications". See call for papers for details. In addition, a number of special sessions will be organized, on selected hot topics in the machine learning, computational intelligence and artificial neural networks fields. See special sessions for details.

Bruges is one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Europe. Designated as the "Venice of the North", the city has preserved all the charms of the medieval heritage. Its centre, which is inscribed on the Unesco World Heritage list, is in itself a real open air museum.
