Baltic Forum: Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence and Complex Systems
Online participation is carried out via Zoom
Online participation is carried out via Zoom
All papers of the Forum are published in the proceedings of VI Scientific School "Dynamics of Complex Networks and their Applications" (DCNA 2022) and The Fourth International Conference "Neurotechnologies and Neurointerfaces" (CNN 2022). The proceedings are also published in IEEE Xplore and indexed in Scopus (DCNA'2022 and CNN'2022).
Baltic Forum: Neuroscience, AI and Complex Systems is dedicated to the advancements in fundamental and applied science at the intersection of brain research, artificial intelligence, nonlinear dynamics, theory of complex systems and social and ethical aspects of the global digitalization of our lives.
The Forum will be attended by leading world and Russian scientists, as well as young researchers working in or across the following disciplines: complexity theory, neurotechnology and neuroscience, neurobiology, artificial intelligence and machine learning, nonlinear dynamics, self-organizing systems, brain-computer interfaces, biological and medical applications of control theory, communication and transport, controlled systems in physics, dynamics and control of complex networks, thermodynamic control, ecosystems and climate control, social networks, control of quantum systems, intelligent robotics, neurophilosophy and technoethics, predictive and preventive medicine.
Baltic Forum: Neuroscience, AI and Complex Systems includes four large thematic conferences, initiative mini-symposia and provide unique international platform for the exchange of scientific, technical and educational ideas, results and achievements between leading specialists, including young scientists and students working in such rapidly developing areas of modern science.
This year’s novelty will be discussions in the form of a Science Battle, which will complete each day of the Forum: researchers from different "poles" of scientific knowledge will try to defend their vision of answers to the most pressing questions of today’s and tomorrow’s science. What a neurophilosopher and a machine learning specialist can say about the use of neural networks in modern universities, and whether they agree with each other, will be shown by a scientific duel.
As part of the forum, a competition will be held for the best practice-oriented projects of young researchers with worthy financial support for the winners' works. The organizer and sponsor of this event is the key industrial partner of the IKBFU — Group of companies "Sodruzhestvo".
Baltic Forum: Neuroscience, AI and Complex Systems is designed to promote active interaction of specialists in various scientific fields both at the national and international levels.
This Forum draws upon the successful experience of holding international events in Russia: International Conference "Neurotechnologies and Neurointerfaces" (3 conferences have been held since 2015) and Scientific School "Dynamics of Complex Networks and Its Applications in Intelligent Robotics" (5 conferences have been held since 2017).
For the first time, the Baltic Forum: Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence and Complex Systems was held in 2021. All papers of the Forum are published in the proceedings of V Scientific School "Dynamics of Complex Networks and their Applications" (DCNA 2021) and The Third International Conference "Neurotechnologies and Neurointerfaces" (CNN 2021). The proceedings are also published in IEEE Xplore and indexed in Scopus (DCNA'2021 and CNN'2021).

About Kaliningrad region
The Kaliningrad Region is a unique region of Russia. Region is located on the southeastern coast of the Baltic Sea and is the westernmost region of the Russian Federation completely separated from the rest of the country by the land borders of foreign states and international sea waters.
With its small territory, Kaliningrad region is characterized by special natural conditions. A strip along the southern ice-free part of the Baltic Sea, which is a humid lowland plain with mild winters and a cool summer — these are quite favorable natural conditions of the region.
The Kaliningrad region is one of the smallest regions in Russia. But, despite this, you can find a wide variety of natural landscapes. And oak groves, pine forests, and many kilometers of bogs and meadows, and even sand dunes on the Curonian Spit. The entire Kaliningrad region is dotted with rivers and streams.
