Welcome to SIREN

It is with great pleasure that, on behalf of the Steering Committee, I welcome you to the official website of the Italian Society for Neural Networks (SIREN).

Founded in 1989, SIREN has been at the forefront of promoting research and collaboration in the fields of Neural Networks and Artificial Intelligence in Italy.

Upholding the visionary legacy of our founders, Profs Eduardo R. Caianiello and Maria Marinaro, SIREN remains the premier Italian reference point for interdisciplinary research. Our goal remains to unite physicists, engineers, mathematicians, and biologists in a rigorous and open scientific dialogue.

Prof. Anna Esposito

SIREN President
