About the School<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Artificial Intelligence in Cognitive Technologies is a rapidly evolving field attracting increasing attention from both academia and industry. The International Summer School on Artificial Intelligence for Cognitive Technologies (ISACT)<\/strong> is designed for Master\u2019s and PhD students, early-career researchers, and industry professionals interested in exploring the foundations and emerging developments in this interdisciplinary domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme brings together leading researchers and participants from around the world to discuss recent advances and practical challenges in intelligent cognitive technologies. Participants will have opportunities to interact with experts, exchange ideas with peers, and engage with topics at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cognitive technologies, and human-machine systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants are also encouraged to share their research during the school, supporting an interactive and collaborative learning environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
