A UK Forum for Computational Intelligence Research
UKCI is the annual UK Workshop on Computational Intelligence, bringing together the community working in computational intelligence and related machine intelligence research. The 2023 edition was the 22nd in the series.
UKCI 2023 was hosted by Aston University over three days, from 6 to 8 September 2023, with a programme of technical sessions, keynote addresses and a gala dinner. Professor Simon Green, Pro-Vice Chancellor for Research at Aston University, delivered the welcome address on Day 1, and Nitin Naik served as General Chair.
Accepted papers were published in the "Advances in Computational Intelligence System" series by Springer. The pages below bring together the organising committees, submission guidelines, registration information, the full programme and keynote speaker profiles.

Previous UK Workshops
UKCI has been hosted across the UK for more than two decades, with earlier editions in Sheffield (2022), Aberystwyth (2021), Portsmouth (2019), Nottingham (2018), Cardiff (2017), Lancaster (2016), Exeter (2015), Bradford (2014), Surrey (2013), Edinburgh (2012), Manchester (2011), Essex (2010), Nottingham (2009) and Leicester (2008).
UKCI is the annual UK Workshop on Computational Intelligence, a forum that gathers researchers, practitioners and students working across computational intelligence and adjacent machine intelligence fields. The 2023 edition marked the twenty-second in the series and took place over three days in September, hosted by Aston University. The event is organised by a committee of volunteers drawn from the community, and it exists to provide a platform where current research, emerging methods and open questions can be discussed in an open, collegial atmosphere.
The programme structure follows a familiar rhythm for a conference of this kind: technical sessions presenting contributed papers, keynote addresses delivered by invited speakers, and a gala dinner that brings delegates together informally. Days are typically arranged so that parallel paper sessions sit alongside keynote slots, allowing attendees to move between topics and engage with questions from colleagues working in neighbouring domains of computational intelligence, from optimisation and fuzzy systems to learning and reasoning under uncertainty.
Authors are invited to submit original work ahead of the workshop, with accepted contributions appearing in the conference proceedings published as part of a Springer volume on advances in computational intelligence. The call for papers circulates well in advance of the event, accompanied by guidance on formatting, copyright and inclusion requirements so that submissions can be prepared consistently. Registered delegates receive access to the final proceedings, ensuring that discussion continues well after the closing session.
A welcome address opens the workshop, typically delivered by a senior figure from the host institution, and a General Chair guides the overall running of the event. Alongside the formal programme, UKCI has a strong record of fostering collaboration between academia, industry and government, giving researchers a chance to meet colleagues, share experience and discuss the future direction of the field. The website is maintained with technical and scheduling updates as details firm up closer to the dates.
Past editions of UKCI remain available as an archive of previous programmes, papers and event reports, which makes the series a useful reference point for newcomers and returning participants alike. The visual identity of the site reflects a professional, corporate tone: deep navy and charcoal backgrounds, warm gold accents, restrained coral highlights and clean sans-serif typography set in generous, airy layouts. Section content is organised into flat colour blocks and simple dividers, keeping attention on the schedule, speakers, submissions and practical details that delegates actually need.
