The Course provides a stimulating environment for academics, early career researchers, Post-Docs, PhD students and industry leaders. Participants will also have the chance to present their results with oral talks or posters, and to interact with their peers, in a friendly and constructive environment.<br><br>Bringing together AI and neuroscience promises to yield benefits for both fields. The future impact and progress in both AI and Neuroscience will strongly depend on continuous synergy and efficient cooperation between the two research communities. <br><br>The Event will involve a total of 36-40 hours of lectures. Academically, this will be equivalent to 8 ECTS points for the PhD Students and the Master Students attending the Event.<br><br><br>COURSE DESCRIPTION:<br><a href="https://acain2022.artificial-intelligence-sas.org/course-description/">https://acain2022.artificial-intelligence-sas.org/course-description/</a><br><br><br>VENUE & ACCOMMODATION:<br><a href="https://acain2022.artificial-intelligence-sas.org/venue/">https://acain2022.artificial-intelligence-sas.org/venue/</a><br><br><a href="https://acain2022.artificial-intelligence-sas.org/accommodation/">https://acain2022.artificial-intelligence-sas.org/accommodation/</a><br><br>The Certosa di Pontignano<br>Località Pontignano, 5 – 53019, Castelnuovo Berardenga (Siena) – Tuscany – Italy<br>phone: +39-0577-1521104<br>fax: +39-0577-1521098<br><a href="mailto:info@lacertosadipontignano.com">info@lacertosadipontignano.com</a><br><a href="https://www.lacertosadipontignano.com/en/index.php">https://www.lacertosadipontignano.com/en/index.php</a><br>Contact person: Dr. Lorenzo Pasquinuzzi<br><br>You need to book your accommodation at the venue and pay the amount for accommodation directly to the Certosa di Pontignano. <br><br>ACTIVITIES:<br><a href="https://acain2022.artificial-intelligence-sas.org/activities/">https://acain2022.artificial-intelligence-sas.org/activities/</a><br><br>REGISTRATION:<br><a href="https://acain2022.artificial-intelligence-sas.org/registration/">https://acain2022.artificial-intelligence-sas.org/registration/</a><br><br>See you in 3D or 2D :) in Tuscany in September!<br>                 ACAIN 2022 Directors.<br><br><br>Past Edition: <a href="https://acain2021.artificial-intelligence-sas.org">https://acain2021.artificial-intelligence-sas.org</a><br><br>POSTER:<br><a href="https://acain2022.artificial-intelligence-sas.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/21/2022/02/poster-ACAIN-2022.png">https://acain2022.artificial-intelligence-sas.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/21/2022/02/poster-ACAIN-2022.png</a><br><br>NEWS: <a href="https://acain2022.artificial-intelligence-sas.org/category/news/">https://acain2022.artificial-intelligence-sas.org/category/news/</a><br><br>E:  <a href="mailto:acain@icas.cc">acain@icas.cc</a><br><br>W:  <a href="https://acain2022.artificial-intelligence-sas.org">https://acain2022.artificial-intelligence-sas.org</a><br><br>* Apologies for multiple copies.
