Bremen will be hosting the prestigious International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) in 2026. Thanks to the successful application made by the U Bremen Research Alliance and the Section for Artificial Intelligence at the German Informatics Society (Gesellschaft für Informatik) this leading conference will be held in Germany again after 43 years. With this, Germany and especially Bremen demonstrated its suitability as an excellent place for artificial intelligence and science.
The IJCAI was established in 1969 and is the oldest and most significant conference in its field. It will be held in combination with the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI) for the third time in 2026.
Fraunhofer MEVIS is one of the founding members of the U Bremen Research Alliance, a cooperation between the University of Bremen and twelve federal and state financed non-university research institutes to strengthen Bremen as an R&D location.
