Contact: Floriana Grasso floriana@liverpool.ac.uk

AISB 2027 will be held at the University of Liverpool on the 1st-3rd June. Further information on arrangements for the convention will be made available as information becomes available.

The AISB 2027 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: 15th November 2026
Notification of acceptance: 4th December 2026
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).
