Norwegian AI Society restructured

NAIS, the Norwegian AI Society, has been reformed, and is again an active member of ECCAI.

ECCAI Fellows Nominations Sought

At the beginning of each year, the ECCAI member societies nominate individuals whom they consider to have achieved unusual distinction in the field. In addition, two ECCAI Fellows from different countries may nominate a person for fellowship. All these nominations are then considered by the ECCAI Fellows Selection Committee, comprising 6 ECCAI Fellows and the ECCAI Chair. The committee generally selects 5-10 new Fellows each year. The policies governing the operation of the Fellows Committee are under the review of the ECCAI Board.

Nominations for 2010 should be sent in electronic form to Marie-Odile Cordier. Deadline for nominations is March 15, 2010. For more information see the ECCAI Fellows Program.
