ESANN 2027 — 35th European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning
by d-side conferences, in cooperation with UCLouvain
Europe's long-running neural networks and machine learning symposium, hybrid from Bruges
About This Event
ESANN 2027, the 35th European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning, runs from Wednesday 21 to Friday 23 April 2027 in Bruges, Belgium, and is organised in hybrid mode with both in-person and online participation. The symposium covers artificial neural networks, machine learning, statistical information processing and computational intelligence, with specific areas including deep learning, kernel machines, transfer learning, classification, clustering, recurrent networks, time-series forecasting, dimensionality reduction, trustworthy AI and machine learning for healthcare. Papers are due 18 November 2026 with decisions on 22 January 2027. Alongside the regular sessions ESANN runs special sessions reviewed against the same criteria, and every accepted poster also gets a one-minute spotlight oral presentation during a plenary session. DBLP records the symposium in Bruges every recent year.

- ✓Applied scientists in healthcare AI
- ✓PhD students in neural networks and computational intelligence
Why Attend
ESANN is the practical European stop for a team that needs to track neural-network and machine-learning research without the scale, cost and lottery admission of NeurIPS or ICML. A head of AI or data science gets three days in a single European city, in April, with a programme that reaches trustworthy AI and healthcare machine learning as well as core deep learning — and because the 2027 edition is hybrid, the rest of the team can attend the same sessions remotely. It is a good venue for scouting European research groups you might partner with or hire from, at a fraction of the travel commitment of a US conference.
Event Features
- ✓Regular sessions on artificial neural networks, machine learning, statistical information processing and computational intelligence
- ✓Special sessions, reviewed to the same standard as the main track
- ✓One-minute spotlight oral presentation in plenary for every accepted poster
- ✓Hybrid delivery — in-person in Bruges and online, 21-23 April 2027
- ✓Topic coverage spanning deep learning, kernel machines, transfer learning and recurrent networks
- ✓Topic coverage spanning trustworthy AI and machine learning for healthcare
- ✓Open-access proceedings published via esann.org
What Makes This Unique
- ★Thirty-five consecutive editions and, per DBLP, held in Bruges in every recent year — a stable, predictable European fixture rather than a rotating venue with variable organisation.
- ★Hybrid by design for 2027, with both in-person and online participation, so a team can send one person and still have the rest follow the same programme without a second travel budget.
- ★Every accepted poster also gets a one-minute spotlight oral presentation during a plenary session, so no accepted work is buried in a poster hall.
- ★Special sessions are reviewed against the same criteria as the regular sessions, so themed tracks are not a lower-bar side entrance.
- ★Proceedings are published open access via esann.org, so the output is readable by colleagues who did not attend.
