Get Involved: SIGs, Sections, & Regional Chapters

INNS members are invited to get involved and join Special Interest Groups (SIGs), Sections, & Regional Chapters.

Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

The history of SIGs

SIGs were self-organized using sign-on sheets posted on conference hallways at the first INNS meeting in Boston and in consequent INNS and IJCNN meetings. SIG-related evening gatherings, end-of-the-day talks with informal contributions, short set pieces, and dinners have been colorful activities at most conferences. Learn more here.

Sections

Sections are formed by the BoG as a vehicle to organize events and discussion about a current topic in neural networks. Advantages of sections and section membership include: special tracks during conferences, dedicated space in INNS publications, active recruitment, and potential for new conferences and events.

Please note: membership in INNS is required in order to join the XIA, AML, and/or BDA Section. 

INNS Regional Chapters

If your area has an INNS chapter, consider attending a meeting or event. If your area does not have a local chapter, consider forming one. To learn more about chapters, please feel free to contact the VP of Membership, Seiichi Ozawa.
