The EANN conference is technically supported by the INNS (International Neural Networks Society https:inns.org. More specifically, it is run under the auspices of the INNS Engineering Applications of Neural Networks Special Interest Group (SIG) https://www.inns.org/eann. The EANN SIG has been created to focus on innovative applications of Neural Networks and associated techniques for solving practical problems, especially where an engineering approach is adopted. The formation of EANN SIG recognizes and gives a home to the research community involved in the longstanding and successful series of conferences on Engineering Applications of Neural Networks (EANN)
