About The Conference

The Mediterranean Conference in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence MCCSAI'2026 is relaunched for a new edition, following the success of the first two editions.MCCSAI'2026 will be held in December 2026. The conference is jointly organized by the two ESI's research laboratories, namely LMCS and LCSI, in collaboration with the INIELAB laboratory of Bechar University. The aim of the conference is to offer researchers and Phd students the opportunity to share and disseminate their research works, to foster collaborations, and contribute to the growth of a robust Mediterranean research community in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. This edition of the conference will focus on Theoretical Mathematics for AI as well as Applied AI for national priority research areas including AI in Healthcare, AI for Energy Transition and AI for Food Security.
