We are sorry to announce that NICE 2020, scheduled to be held on March 17-20 2020, is postponed to a later date. Please see here for details.
Despite of the postponed workshop, the submitted papers have been published (accessible since 23 June 2020) as NICE ’20: Proceedings of the Neuro-inspired Computational Elements Workshop
The 8th Annual Neuro-Inspired Computational Elements (NICE) Workshop at the Kirchhoff-Institute for Physics at Heidelberg University, Heidelberg, GERMANY.
Update from 6 March 2020: NICE 2020 is POSTPONED.
March 17-20th, 2020 (with pre-events on 16 March 2020)
The conference continues to bring together the varied and diverse researchers and applications within the neuromorphic computational and the information processing communities to promote the current industry advancements and inspire the future of neuro-inspired computational system solutions.
Two pre-NICE events (organized independently of NICE) were planned to take place on Monday, 16 March 2020 (both postponed) at the NICE venue:
- the satellite ‘Vector symbolic architectures / hyper dimensional computing‘ (is POSTPONED)
- NEUROTECH ‘Future Application Directions for Neuromorphic Computing Technologies‘ (is POSTPONED)
Proceedings 2020 available
Despite of the postponed workshop, the submitted papers have been published (accessible since 23 June 2020) as NICE ’20: Proceedings of the Neuro-inspired Computational Elements Workshop

Reminder: NICE moved by one week to March, 17-20th, 2020
Since the initial announcement of the NICE 2020 date at NICE 2019 two date-clashes with other meetings came up. To avoid the overlap with NAISyS (March 24-28th) and AICAS 2020 (March 23-25th) we decided to move the NICE by one week to March 17-20th, 2020.
