Registration

The registration options and fees are listed on the registration page.

Paper submission

For submissions, we will accept regular papers (4-8 pages, not including references) that will be reviewed by the program committee. The length of the paper will not influence decisions, which will be peer-reviewed on the sole quality and clarity of the work. Papers should cover unpublished work and emphasize the novel aspects and the potential impact on the neural computing community. Preference will be given towards submissions describing ambitious approaches to bringing neural inspiration into real-world computing applications. From these submissions we will invite several full talks, lightning talks, and poster presentations.  As with previous years, NICE is planning on publishing an online proceedings volume.

Please find all the details on the easychair paper submission page.

Tutorial suggestions

For suggesting a tutorial for one of the 2h tutorial slots on the “Tutorials day” (Friday, 28 March), please find the details on the tutorials page.

Agenda

The agenda of NICE 2025 can only be created after the paper submission review has been completed and thus the contributed talks have been selected. The review is going to be completed by 20 December 2024.

There is already a list of confirmed invited speakers. A hint of how NICE 2025 will work in principle is the agenda of NICE 2024.
