2026 The 5th International Conference on Cognitive and Intelligent Technology (ICCIT) will be held in Nanjing, China during December 18-20, 2026. It's sponsored by Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, China and IEEE, hosted by School of Artificial Intelligence, NUIST, patrons are Nanjing University, China, Southeast University, China, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, China, Donghua University, China, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China.

Cognitive technology refers to AI-driven systems designed to replicate human cognitive functions, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and natural language understanding, by combining insights from computer science, neuroscience, and psychology. At its core, cognitive technology emphasizes augmented intelligence, enhancing human decision‑making rather than replacing it. Systems under this theme are not merely automated; they’re designed to understand context, interpret unstructured inputs, and provide meaningful, adaptive responses that complement human cognitive strengths.

ICCIT promises to be an exciting platform for discussing the latest trends and innovations in Cognitive and Intelligent Technology. This conference will bring together thought leaders, industry experts, and researchers to explore pivotal topics such as build systems that emulate human-like adaptability, insight, and interaction-driving forward intelligent innovation that empowers, rather than replaces, human thinking. Additionally, the conference can provide networking opportunities, fostering collaborations that could lead to groundbreaking projects. By addressing both the advantages and challenges posed by rapid technological advancements.

Accepted and presented papers will be included in ICCIT 2026 Conference Proceedings. The proceedings will be published by IEEE and archived in IEEE Xplore, which will be indexed by Ei Compendex and Scopus, etc.
