Call for Nominations: Neural Networks Co-Editor-in-Chief 

The International Neural Network Society (INNS) is now accepting nominations for the the position of Co-Editor-in-Chief (Co-EiC) of Neural Networks, the official journal of the INNS, published by Elsevier.

Neural Networks is a leading international journal that publishes high-quality research across all areas of neural networks, including theoretical developments, empirical studies, and practical applications. The journal currently operates with three Co-Editors-in-Chief and one Editor-in-Chief. With the current Editor-in-Chief's term concluding at the end of 2025, this new Co-EiC will play a crucial role. Once this new Co-EiC is selected, Elsevier will then appoint a new Editor-in-Chief for the journal.


As Neural Networks continues to grow in scope and influence, INNS is seeking an outstanding individual to join and help lead the editorial team, shaping its future direction. More information about the current editors can be found on the Neural Networks Journal page.
