 ECAI Conferences

Every even-numbered year, EurAI, jointly with one of the member associations of EurAI, organizes a European Conference on AI. This conference, abbreviated ECAI, has become the leading conference for this field in Europe.

Next conference, IJCAI-ECAI-2022, will take place in Vienna, Austria, hosted by ZIF  and the Kurt Goedel Society  .

In retrospect, the first ECAI meetings were considered to have been the AISB conferences: Brighton (1974), Edinburgh (1976), Hamburg (1978), Amsterdam (1980). Conferences using the name ECAI have been held in Orsay (1982), Pisa (1984), Brighton (1986), Munich (1988), Stockholm (1990), Vienna (1992), and Amsterdam (1994). In 1996, NJSZT, the Hungarian AI Society, organized ECAI-96, which was held in Budapest.
