ECAI, the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence, is undoubtedly one of the most significant events in the field of artificial intelligence in Europe and worldwide. Organized for over 40 years by the European AI association (EurAI), the conference is a meeting place for leading scientists and experts in this field.

The ECAI conference is regularly organized by national AI associations in Europe. Last year, the Polish Association for Artificial Intelligence (PSSI) won the bid to host this prestigious event. In October, ECAI will make its debut in Poland, in Krakow. Given the conference's mobile nature, this is a unique opportunity for the Polish scientific and business community.

Krakow the host City

Kraków is a city with a thousand-year-old history. Kraków’s Old Town is a unique treasury of works of art, historical monuments and historic buildings, representing almost all architectural styles, from the Middle Ages to the present day. For hundreds of years, the Main Market Square has remained the heart of the city. It is the largest town square of medieval Europe, preserved in unchanged form since 1257 and included in the first list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites already in 1978. Kraków is also a city vibrating with cultural life. In the year 2000 it was chosen to be the European Capital of Culture and in 2013 awarded the title of UNESCO City of Literature.
