ESANN 2026
European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning
The European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning (ESANN) is a premier annual event since 1993, focusing on theoretical and methodological advances in neural networks, machine learning, and computational intelligence. Held in hybrid mode in Bruges, Belgium, it emphasizes foundational research over application-oriented work, with a single-track format featuring oral and poster presentations.

Policies worth checking twice
- Submissions are subject to a preliminary desk-rejection filter if they do not align with the conference scope.
- Papers must not exceed six pages, including figures and references.
- No supplementary materials or appendices are allowed; any online supplementary material is not reviewed or published.
- The review process is single-blind.
- The same work must not have been published or submitted elsewhere (conference or journal).
- The same work must not be submitted to any other conference or journal before receiving a decision from ESANN.
- At least one author must register and attend the conference to present the paper; failure to present results in blacklisting.
- Papers must be submitted in PDF format (or PS), generated using A4 page size (not Letter), with embedded fonts and 600 dpi resolution.
