We are pleased to announce that the International School on Artificial Intelligence for Cognitive Technologies (ISACT 2024) will be held from the 10th to the 13th of December, in the beautiful and historic city of Naples, in the south of Italy.

Artificial Intelligence in Cognitive Technologies is a burgeoning field that has garnered significant interest from the industry in recent years. International School on Artificial Intelligence for Cognitive Technologies (ISACT), designed specifically for Master and PhD students, early career researchers, and industry professionals, aims to present the fundamental aspects of AI in cognitive technologies within an interdisciplinary context, focusing on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), Explainable AI (XAI), and related technologies. This dynamic and intensive programme offers a unique opportunity to delve into the cutting-edge intersections of AI and cognitive technologies, guided by world-renowned experts in the field. Participants will engage in a rigorous curriculum that includes hands-on workshops, insightful lectures, and collaborative projects, all aimed at enhancing skills and fostering innovation. Network with peers, gain invaluable insights, and advance your research or career in the rapidly evolving landscape of AI. To make this school an interactive learning experience, we would encourage the participants to share their research presentations during the school.

This year's edition intends to bring together academia and industry to provide a large practical perspective to master and PhD students, as well as to young industry personnel. Attendees will be able to extend their knowledge in both theoretical and practical aspects of:
- Airtificial Intelligence
- Explainable AI
- Brain-Computer Interaction
- Human-Computer Interaction

This event will be hosted by the University of Naples Federico II (Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, UNINA), which is the sixth oldest university and the oldest state-funded university in continuous operation in the world. This occasion presents a splendid opportunity to learn about new technologies, meet fellow students and employees, discuss ideas with experts, and simply enjoy a city with nearly 2,500 years of history - Naples!
