Welcome to Guimarães
The 2026 edition of INISTA will be held in the historic city of Guimarães, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the birthplace of Portugal. Join us to discuss the future of Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Systems in a unique historical setting.
INISTA 2026 is organized in collaboration with Yıldız Technical University (Türkiye).
Presentation Format (Hybrid Event): INISTA 2026 will run as a fully hybrid event. To support our global research community, authors have the flexibility to present their accepted works either in person at the venue or via remote online presentation.
Authors choosing the remote track must deliver their presentation exclusively through a high-quality pre-recorded video submission. However, please note that active online attendance is strictly mandatory during the respective session to answer live questions and engage in discussions with the session chairs and audience.
