Electrical Engineering conferences

This meeting examines how brain-inspired hardware could reduce AI’s growing energy requirements. Researchers connect materials and memory devices with circuits, systems and applications, including sparse computation and compute-in-memory architectures that reduce data movement. Two discussion days address fundamental advances and challenges; the final day considers translation and wider impacts. Programme participants include Steve Furber, Judith Driscoll and Tony Kenyon. The meeting takes place at The Royal Society, 6–9 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AG, or online, on 23–25 November 2026. Times are GMT (Europe/London, UTC+0). Sessions run 09:00–17:00 on 23 and 24 November, with posters 17:00–18:00 on 23 November; the 25 November programme runs 09:30–15:15. Timings may change. Attendance is free for researchers in relevant fields, with advance Eventbrite registration required. Separate online and in-person tickets cover the discussion meeting and final-day event; attending every day is optional. Lunch costs an optional GBP 25 on each of the first two days and is free on the third. Poster proposals are due 23 October, subject to capacity.

These scientific study days examine radio-wave propagation and the environments that shape terrestrial, maritime and space links, radar and remote sensing. Topics include experimental characterisation and empirical, statistical or deterministic channel models; meteorology; electromagnetic properties of surfaces; complex media; radar and SAR imaging; environmental datasets; machine learning and physics-informed neural networks; and emerging millimetre-wave requirements. The meeting brings together academic laboratories, industry and public institutions. Presentations are primarily in French, with some English contributions possible. The announced abstract deadline is 1 November 2026 and programme publication is scheduled for 1 December 2026.

The Neuro Inspired Computational Elements Conference (NICE) gathers research on neuromorphic computing and its connections to neuroscience and artificial intelligence. NICE 2027 holds its main conference on 6–8 April 2027 at the University of Sussex in Brighton, United Kingdom, followed by a tutorials day of mainly hands-on two-hour tutorials on 9 April. Topics span neuromorphic hardware, analog and beyond-CMOS devices and compute-in-memory architectures; NeuroAI, including theory of neural circuits and its experimental support, local learning and plasticity, and connectomics; neuroscience-inspired and hardware-aware algorithms, spiking neural networks and event-based artificial intelligence; applications in robotics, high-performance and edge computing, biosignal processing and brain-computer interfaces; event-driven and bio-inspired sensing; and software frameworks, benchmarks, simulators and theoretical models for neuromorphic engineering. Regular papers of 4–8 pages are reviewed by the programme committee for talks, lightning talks or posters, with proceedings indexed through IEEE Conference Proceedings. Paper submissions are due on 11 November 2026, tutorial suggestions on 2 December 2026 and late-breaking news submissions on 1 February 2027. Early-bird fees, until 17 January 2027, are £250 for students and £450 for regular participants (£300 and £550 afterwards), and the tutorials day costs £75 early or £100 later.
