CALL FOR SYMPOSIA PROPOSALS: AISB 2026, University of Sussex
(DEADLINE: November 30, 2025)

Contact: Simon Bowes (S.C....@sussex.ac.uk)

AISB 2026 will be held at the University of Sussex on the 1st-2nd July. For more information on the convention please see the website at https://aisb.org.uk/.

Keynote Speaker: Anil Seth

The AISB 2026 convention will follow the same overall structure as previous conventions, namely a set of co-located symposia, and we are seeking proposals for these symposia. Typical symposia last for one or two days, and can include any type of event of academic benefit: talks, posters, panels, discussions, demonstrations, outreach sessions, etc.

Proposals for Symposia are welcomed in all areas of AI and cognitive science.

Some suggested areas are shown below, although any proposal in the field of AI or cognitive science will be welcomed:
  • AI in Education
  • Agency & AI
  • Art & AI
  • Cognitive & Computational Neuroscience
  • Computational theory of mind
  • Computational Intelligence
  • Consciousness
  • Embodiment and AI
  • Ethics of AI
  • Human and Machine Creativity
  • Hybrid Human-AI
  • Knowledge Representation
  • Machine Learning
  • Robotics
  • Bio-inspired approaches.
  • Simulation of Human and Animal Behaviour
  • The Turing Test and Philosophical Foundations of AI
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposing a Symposium

Each symposium is organized by its own programme committee. The committee proposes the symposium, defines the area(s) and structure for it, issues calls for abstracts/papers etc., manages the process of selecting submitted papers for inclusion, and compiles an electronic file for inclusion in the convention proceedings.

Proposers are welcome to submit or be involved with more than one proposal. Proposers need not already be members the AISB and will not be required to become members. They will of course be encouraged to join! 

Deadline for symposium proposals: 30th November 2025

Notification of acceptance: 15th December 2025

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Submissions should consist of the following

- A title.

- A 300–1000-word description of the scope of the symposium, and its relevance to the convention along with the nature of the academic events (talks, posters, panels, demonstrations, etc.).

- Whether the symposium is intended as a sequel to a symposium at a previous AISB conference.

- An indication of whether submissions will be by abstract, extended abstract, or full paper.

- Your preferences about the intended length of the symposium as a number of days (half a day, one day or two days), together with a brief justification.

- A description (up to 500 words) of any experience you have in organization of academic research meetings (please note that it is not a requirement that you have such experience).

- Names and affiliations of any invited speakers that you may have in mind for the symposium.

- Your names and full contact details, together with, if possible, names and workplaces of the members of a preliminary, partial programme committee.

Please e-mail your completed proposal to Simon Bowes: S.C....@sussex.ac.uk
