ISSAI 2019: First Interdisciplinary Summer School on AI
(http://issai.dei.uc.pt)
Focus Theme: “New paths for Intelligence”

Jointly organised by APPIA and AEPIA
June 5-7, 2019
Fórum Cultural de Cerveira, Vila Nova de Cerveira, Portugal

Schedule:
- The works will start the 5th June at 9:00; participants are thus 
invited to arrive at Vila Nova de Cerveira on the evening of the 4th June.
- The School will close on the 7th June, at the afternoon.

The ISSAI is intended as an interdisciplinary forum with the aim to 
create a multi-directional flow between AI and other disciplines. The 
spirit of the meeting is that a forum where practitioners from different 
fields both present ideas from their fields and learn about ideas from 
other fields is the best atmosphere for all the disciplines to prosper 
together. The event is an initiative of the Portuguese and Spanish 
associations for AI (APPIA and AEPIA). It is aimed at graduate students, 
post-docs and researchers willing to advance their knowledge and gain 
new insights by actively participating in an interdisciplinary dialogue.

The focus theme for the first edition in 2019 will be “New paths for 
Intelligence”.
