Welcome to the International Neural Network Society
The International Neural Network Society (INNS) is a leading scientific community dedicated to advancing neural networks—the foundation of modern AI. Our mission is to foster the exchange of ideas and opportunities in this rapidly evolving field. We bring together research on fundamental theories, practical applications across diverse domains, and the societal impact of this transformative technology. Join a global conversation with pioneers and leading scientists shaping the future of AI.
In Memory of Steven L. Bressler (1951–2025)
Dr. Steven L. Bressler, Professor in the Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences and the Department of Psychology at Florida Atlantic University, passed away on 18 November 2025 at the age of 74.

Welcome to the International Neural Network Society.
A Presidential Welcome from Francesco Carlo Morabito, 2025-2026 INNS President
In the next two years, I will assume the leadership of our Society. This is an exceptional achievement to me, which comes with many responsibilities and requires hard dedication.
In 2024, Neural Networks (NN) was formally recognized as the foundation of the scientific and technological revolution driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI). It goes without saying that the scientists recently awarded with the Nobel Prize (in Physics and in Chemistry) belong to (or had a relevant history in) our Society, the International Neural Network Society (INNS). In particular, the recognition of the Backpropagation algorithm as the kick-off point of this extraordinary history as well as the convolutional architectures which are at the core of Deep Learning make us proud. INNS is intimately related to these developments, being the premiere organization devoted to every aspect of NN, including the original neuroscientific and biological inspiration.

Neural Networks is the archival journal of the world's three oldest neural modeling societies: the International Neural Network Society (INNS), the European Neural Network Society (ENNS), and the Japanese Neural Network Society (JNNS). A subscription to the journal is included with membership in each of these societies.
The online subscription to Neural Networks Journal will need to activated with your member number. Follow these instructions to activate your subscription.
INNS Webinars Chair, Marcus Liwicki explores how AI can serve as a catalyst for human creativity, education, and societal progress in a recent TEDx talk.
