The ELLIS Milan Pre-NeurIPS Fest and Workshop 2025 will take place on November 17th, 2025, at the University of Milano-Bicocca.
The event is dedicated to sharing our recent academic output through short oral presentations and a poster session. See the schedule below for details.
The event is open to anyone who is interested in sharing recent work accepted at top conferences on topics connected to ELLIS. Due to space and time limitations, a selection of the posters presented will be made. Attendance without poster presentation is also possible.
