International Workshop on Foundations and Applications of Computational Intelligence

 

The International Workshop on Foundations and Applications of Computational Intelligence (FACI 2025) is an academic workshop focusing on the development and applications of Computational Intelligence (CI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

This workshop will be held at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) from 20th to 22nd June 2025, bringing together experts from academia and industry to discuss the latest research advancements, key technologies, and future development in the fields of CI and AI. Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

  • Recent advancements in computational intelligence and artificial intelligence
  • Key technologies in computational intelligence
  • Tips sharing by EiC and AEs on publishing high-quality research papers
  • Tips sharing by academician on writing good research proposals
  • Tips sharing for young researchers

FACI 2025 aims to foster academic exchange, drive the development of intelligent technologies, and provide a platform for researchers to share innovative ideas and practical insights. We look forward to your participation in exploring the future of computational intelligence at University of Nottingham Ningbo China!
