AIces 2026 will be the first in a series of research training events aiming at updating participants on the most recent multidisciplinary discussions about the foundations, meaning, challenges and risks of AI.

The event will have a global scope along 3 thematic lines: cognition, ethics, and society. It will cover current debates about: AI and philosophy of mind; cognitive architectures; machine learning and cognitive development; large language models and visual information; robotics and embodied cognition; neuroscience-inspired AI; algorithmic bias and fairness; transparency and explainability; accountability and responsibility; privacy and surveillance; autonomy and control; AI impact on human values and social inequalities; the future of work and automation; governance, regulation and public policies; AI, human rights and democracy; AI and global development; information and AI education.

The event will consist of 12 courses, 2 keynote lectures, 1 round table, 1 symposium collecting short contributions from participants, and 3 open thematic debate sessions. Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views with the audience. The organizers are convinced that outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Face to face interaction and networking will be main ingredients of the event. It will be also possible to fully participate in vivo remotely.

ADDRESSED TO:

Graduate students, postgraduate students and industry practitioners will be typical profiles of participants. However, there are no formal pre-requisites for attendance in terms of academic degrees, so people less or more advanced in their career will be welcome as well.

Since there will be a variety of levels, specific knowledge background may be assumed for some of the courses.

Overall, AIces 2026 is addressed to students, researchers and practitioners who want to keep themselves updated about recent developments and future trends. All will surely find it fruitful to listen to and discuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators.

The selection of 6 courses requested in the registration template is only tentative and non-binding. For logistical reasons, it will be helpful to have an estimation of the respective demand for each course.

Since the capacity of the venue is limited, registration requests will be processed on a first come first served basis. The registration period will be closed and the on-line registration tool disabled when the capacity of the venue will have got exhausted. It is highly recommended to register prior to the event.

FEES:

Fees comprise access to all program activities and lunches.

There are several early registration deadlines. Fees depend on the registration deadline.

The fees for on site and for online participation are the same.

ACCOMMODATION:

Accommodation suggestions will be available in due time at

https://aices.irdta.eu/2026/accommodation/

CERTIFICATE:

A certificate of successful participation in the event will be delivered indicating the number of hours of academic activities. This should be sufficient for those participants who plan to request ECTS recognition from their home university.

[DMANET] AAIS 2025: The International Symposium on Agentic Artificial Intelligence Systems , November 25-28, 2025 •Vienna, Austria

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation]

The International Symposium on Agentic Artificial Intelligence Systems
(AAIS 2025)

https://fllm-conference.org/2025/Workshops/AAIS2025/

Co-Located with

The 3rd International Conference on Foundation and Large Language Models
(FLLM2025) <https://fllm-conference.org/2025/>

November 25-28, 2025 •Vienna, Austria

Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Austrian Section

*AAIS 2025 CFP:*

The growth of Agentic AI marks a transformative increase in the evolution
of intelligent systems, this varies from reactive models to proactive
agents capable of autonomous reasoning, decision-making, and adaptive
behavior. As these intelligent agents begin to saturate domains such as
healthcare, robotics, education, finance, and scientific discovery, the
urgency to explore their full potential has never been greater. AAIS 2025
invites high-quality, original submissions from academia, research
institutions, industry, and government agencies that push the frontiers of
agentic AI. We seek contributions that explore the design, implementation,
evaluation, and governance of agentic systems with an emphasis on
purposeful action, collaboration, and ethical alignment in dynamic,
real-world settings. This symposium aims to become a premier venue for
researchers, developers, and innovators building autonomous AI systems that
do more than predict. Those intelligent systems can plan, act, learn, and
evolve efficiently.

Authors are invited to submit their original work, which is not submitted
elsewhere, to this Symposium. The accepted papers of the Symposium will be
published by the IEEE Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and will be
submitted for inclusion in the IEEE-Xplore and the IEEE Computer Society
(CSDL) digital libraries. We invite the submission of original papers on
all related topics related to AAIS, with special interest in but not
limited to:

- Human-Agent Interaction and Social Intelligence
- Learning Paradigms for Agentic AI
- Applications and Domain-Specific Agents
- Simulation, Evaluation, and Benchmarking
- Agent Architectures and Cognitive Models
- Security, Regulation, and Governance
- Goal-Oriented Planning and Decision-Making
- Multi-Agent Systems and Emergent Intelligence
- Applications and trends

* Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings*

Manuscripts should be prepared in 10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11"
two-column format. All papers should be in PDF format, and submitted
electronically at Paper Submission Link. A full paper can be up to 6 to 8
pages (including all figures, tables and references). Submitted papers must
present original unpublished research that is not currently under review
for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines
may be rejected without review. Also submissions received after the due
date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not
be considered. Authors may contact the Program Chair for further
information or clarification. All submissions are peer-reviewed by at least
three reviewers. Accepted papers will appear in the FLLM Proceeding, and be
published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and
be submitted to IEEE Xplore for inclusion. Submitted papers must include
original work, and must not be under consideration for another conference
or journal. Submission of regular papers up to 8 pages and must follow the
IEEE paper format. Please include up to 7 keywords, complete postal and
email address, and fax and phone numbers of the corresponding author.
Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the
conference. Submitted papers that are deemed of good quality but that could
not be accepted as regular papers will be accepted as short papers.
