Neuro-Informatics conferences

The seventh annual UCL NeuroAI Conference brings together researchers working at the intersection of machine learning and neuroscience. UCL NeuroAI frames the meeting around the shared lineage of the two fields: machine learning and the brain use similar computations to process and compress information, AI models can emulate neural functions and the circuits supporting them, AI tools help discover, segment and track neural and behavioural states, and problems posed in neuroscience in turn inspire advances in AI. Keynote speakers are Wolfgang Maass (Technische Universität Graz), Agostina Palmigiano (Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit), Ellie Pavlik (Brown University), Bernardo Sabatini (Harvard Medical School), Nicolas Skatchkovsky (Francis Crick Institute) and Eleni Vasilaki (University of Sheffield). The programme also includes submitted 15-minute talks, 3–4-minute lightning presentations and posters selected from abstracts, which were due on 16 October 2026. The conference runs from 9am to 5pm on Wednesday 11 November 2026, followed by a reception, in the Kennedy Lecture Theatre at 30 Guilford Street, London. Tickets cost £5, and complimentary tickets can be requested when cost is a barrier. The event is supported by the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre, Callosum Technologies and DeepMind.

NeuralNet is the annual scientific meeting of the GDR NeuralNet, a research network supported by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) that brings together researchers, engineers and specialists in neural data acquisition, analysis, interpretation and modelling, and fosters collaboration across systems neuroscience, computational modelling, NeuroAI and data science. The 15th annual meeting takes place from 25 to 27 November 2026 at Université Paris Cité, Campus Odéon, Paris. Keynote speakers are Asli Ayaz (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Neuroscience), Sophie Bagur (ESPCI), Joao Barbosa (Neurospin), Brice Bathellier (Institut de l'Audition), Alex Cayco Gajic (École Normale Supérieure), Keith Doelling (Institut de l'Audition), Audrey Hay (CRNL, Lyon), Quentin Perrenoud (École Normale Supérieure), Lorenzo Posani (Paris Brain Institute), Pascale Quilichini (Institut de Neurosciences des Systèmes, Marseille), Peter Rupprecht (Brain Research Institute, Zürich), Ourania Semelidou (Institute of Neurodegenerative Diseases, Bordeaux), Manuel Valero (HMRIB, Barcelona) and Katharina Wilmes (Institute of Neuroinformatics, Zürich). Abstracts for talks and posters are due on 26 October 2026. Early registration, until 10 November 2026, costs €200 for regular participants and €90 for students and postdocs, rising to €250 and €100; it covers the meeting, two breakfasts, one lunch, two coffee breaks, the Thursday evening poster session and a wine and cheese mixer. A separately registered minischool precedes the meeting from 23 to 25 November. Organized by GDR NeuralNet (CNRS).
