In-person & Online
Bringing together researchers, students, engineers and industry to build intelligent, autonomous and secure systems.
The Numidia Institute of Technology (NIT) invites researchers, teachers, engineers, PhD and Master students and industry professionals to submit abstracts presenting original contributions to AIRCN'26. Artificial intelligence, robotics and cybersecurity are reshaping health, agriculture, finance, industry, education and public services; this symposium brings these communities together to build systems that are intelligent, autonomous and secure.

Open to all Algerian universities, research centres and companies.
Accepted abstracts appear in the book of abstracts. National, non-indexed; full papers may be published elsewhere.
Presentation and participation certificates for all authors and attendees.
Best Oral Presentation, Student Presentation, Poster, Demo and Startup Pitch, plus prizes for the Day 2 big challenges.
Hands-on AI, robotics and cybersecurity workshops; exhibit your robot, drone or AI prototype.
Remote presentation is possible for authors who cannot travel.
The cross-cutting theme connecting all three tracks.
AIRCN'26 puts the spotlight on fields where artificial intelligence already changes lives, and welcomes original contributions that take it further.
Earlier diagnosis. Better care.
AI helps clinicians read medical images, detect disease earlier and tailor treatment to each patient, while keeping health data private and decisions explainable.

Smarter fields. Secure harvests.
From satellite and drone imagery to soil sensors, AI helps farmers save water, spot crop disease early and forecast yields in a changing climate.

Fast. Fair. Secure.
AI flags fraud as it happens, assesses credit risk more fairly and brings digital financial services to more people, provided its models stay secure, transparent and accountable.

Applying AI in one of these fields? The call for abstracts welcomes original contributions in every track.
Submit an abstractReal-world problems. Collective solutions.
A big challenge is a hands-on team competition held on Day 2 of the symposium. Each one sets a real-world problem; teams race to solve it, and the best solution wins the prize.
Challenge 01
Real data. Real impact.
The challenge
Teams take on a real healthcare problem with real data. They build an AI solution — a model, a tool or a working prototype — and present it to the jury. The most convincing solution wins.
Challenge 02
Detect. Defend. Outsmart.
The challenge
A capture-the-flag (CTF) competition: teams solve hands-on security tasks against the clock. Each solved task reveals a hidden “flag” worth points, and the team with the most points wins.
Rules, team size and registration for both challenges will be announced on this website.
Share ideas through oral and poster sessions.
Experience AI, robotics and cybersecurity hands-on.
Bring your prototype to the community.
Celebrate the best talks, posters, demos and startup pitches.
