***CIBB 2026: CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSION PROPOSALS***

Dear CIBB Enthusiasts and Newcomers,

the 21st edition of the Computational Intelligence Methods for
Bioinformatics and Biostatistics conference (CIBB 2026) will take
place at Sapienza University of Rome from 2 to 4 September 2026. CIBB
2026 continues its tradition as an international, multidisciplinary
forum focused on advanced computational techniques for bioinformatics,
biostatistics, and medical informatics.

Over the years, Special Sessions proposed by members of the CIBB
community have played a key role in shaping the conference program,
fostering continuity across editions, consolidating research networks,
and introducing new scientific directions. In this spirit, we
particularly welcome updated or renewed proposals building on
previously successful Special Sessions, as well as proposals that
evolve established themes in response to recent scientific advances.

The Call for Special Session Proposals for CIBB 2026 is now open.
Special Sessions are intended to provide focused forums on
well-defined or emerging research topics within the scope of the
conference, promoting both scientific depth and community engagement.

Key Information:

Submission deadline: February 12th, 2026

Each Special Session must include at least 4 accepted papers. In the
event that fewer papers are accepted, they will be incorporated into
the conference’s main tracks.

The conference will provide a dedicated webpage for each approved
Special Session. This page may be used by the proposers to advertise
the session, present its scope and objectives, and disseminate
information to the research community.

Approved Special Sessions will also be promoted through the official
CIBB 2026 communication channels and social media profiles, in
coordination with the session proposers.

A Special Session may include one invited speaker, subject to approval
by the Scientific Committee. The invited speaker should be a
recognized expert with a strong record of contributions to the
proposed topic, and should be external from the proposing committee of
the special session.
In case of approval, all the expenses for the participation of the
invited speaker (travel, hotel, meals) should be covered by the
special session proposers and not by the CIBB 2026 conference budget.


Proposer restrictions:

Special Session chairs (up to two selected from the proposers) cannot
present any submitted work in the session they are chairing.


How to Submit:

Special Session proposals must be submitted through the following
online form: https://cibb2026.teralab.ai/calls/special-session-proposals-form/


For more details, please visit the CIBB 2026 conference website:

If you have any questions or require further information, please do
not hesitate to contact us at cibb...@uniroma1.it.

We look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you if you
choose to submit a proposal and, in any case, to warmly welcome you to
the 21st edition of the CIBB conference!
