 on Efficient Learning in Spiking Neural Networks
Message-ID: <CAGymwcmOh5hbf6u0COFPSEKj6uTtaZRNtXNV8+nnPZy6wo2a5Q@mail.gmail.com>

Dear CapoCaccia folk,

I am pleased to announce, and want to encourage all to consider submitting
to, a Special Session on Efficient Learning in Spiking Neural Networks to
be held at ESANN 2023 in Bruges. The Session will look at all aspects of
spiking learning, with a particular focus on new or emerging learning
methods, technologies, or hardware that start to move towards the
efficiency and effectiveness seen in 'traditional' (non-spiking) neural
network learning rules.

Deadline for submissions is 2 May 2023
Decisions to be announced 16 June 2023
ESANN2023 will take place 4-5 October 2023

The main ESANN web page can be found at: https://www.esann.org
The Web page for the Special Session is:
https://sites.google.com/brookes.ac.uk/elspinn2023/home

The complete Call is attached below.

Looking forward to your contributions!

Best wishes,

Dear colleagues, 

We are happy announce the ? Neuromorphic, Natural and Physical Computing: Interdisciplinary Foundations (NNPC 2023) ? workshop, taking place from 25th ? 27th of October 2023 in Hanover, Herrenhausen castle . Please see our website for information [ BLOCKEDnnpc-conference[.]com/BLOCKED | BLOCKEDnnpc-conference[.]com/BLOCKED ] . 

The general aim of the conference is to boost interdisciplinary transfer of ideas and networking in the wider fields of non-digital computing. NNPC 2023 is a successor to the 2018 conference ?Cognitive Computing: Merging Concepts with Hardware? ( [ BLOCKEDnnpc-conference[.]com/2018/BLOCKED | BLOCKEDnnpc-conference[.]com/2018/BLOCKED ] ) whose very productive and motivating format will be kept. The event is generously supported by the Volkswagen Foundation. 

The conference will run in 5 single-track sessions. 
1. Theory: new concepts and mathematical foundations, 
2. Physical substrates: materials, devices, micro-architectures, 
3. Guides from nature: neuroscience, theoretical biology, complex systems, 
4. Scaling up: modular architectures, complex data structures and processes, 
5. Applications: demonstrators, use-cases, user interfacing, hybrid solutions. 

To ensure maximum participation, all attendees are required to submit a 2-page abstract on a subject relating to one of the session themes. These abstracts are peer-reviewed. All accepted submissions will be granted an oral or poster presentation slot, and hosted publicly on the conference website upon agreement by the authors. Importantly, novelty is not essential as our aim is to make knowledge to diffuse across boundaries of the scientific domains involved. Submission form will be available on the conference website shortly. 
? Submission deadline: March 15th 2023 . March 31 2023. 
? Notify authors of acceptance: April 30th 2023. 
? Notify authors of type of contribution: May 14th 2023. 

Confirmed plenary and invited speakers (more to be announced) 


    * John-Paul Strachan (Forschungszentrum J?lich, Germany) 
    * Walter Senn (University of Bern, Switzerland) 
    * Chiara Bartolozzi ( Italian Institute of Technology, Genova, Italy ) 
    * Christof Teuscher (Portland State University, USA) 
    * Julie Grollier (CNRS, Thales, Paris-Saclay, France) 

We look forward to hearing from you and to meet in person to make NNPC 2023 a memorable success. 

With best regards, the Conference Chairs 

Daniel Brunner (photonics, neuromorphic architectures; CNRS) 
Gordon Pipa (neuroinformatics and cognitive computing; University of Osnabr?ck) 
Damien Querlioz (Bioinspired Nanolectronics; CNRS/Universite? Paris-Saclay France)
