EurIPS Emerges as Europe's Focal Point for Machine Learning Innovation

EurIPS (European Conference on Intelligent Systems) is a groundbreaking community-driven event endorsed by NeurIPS (Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems), designed to provide a European platform for presenting cutting-edge AI research. Accepted NeurIPS papers will be showcased here, reducing geographical barriers and fostering regional collaboration. The conference is co-developed by ELLIS (European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems) and Nordic AIR, signaling a strategic push to consolidate Europe's position in global AI advancements.

Conference Structure: Blending Research and Workshops

The core event runs from December 3–5, 2025, at Copenhagen's Bella Center, featuring:
- Keynote sessions from leading AI researchers
- Paper presentations of NeurIPS-accepted work across ML domains like deep learning, NLP, and computer vision
- Poster sessions for interactive discussions on breakthroughs

This is followed by two days of workshops (December 6–7), which are open for community proposals. Unlike NeurIPS workshops, EurIPS workshops operate independently, encouraging novel formats and niche topics—ideal for exploring emerging areas like ethical AI or federated learning.

ELLIS UnConference Integration and Technical Opportunities

EurIPS co-locates with the ELLIS UnConference on December 2, a unique open event where attendees can:
- Participate in ELLIS-organized workshops on specialized AI topics
- Showcase any 2025-published papers from top conferences in an inclusive poster session

"This model democratizes access," notes an ELLIS representative. "Researchers gain a low-friction venue to share work, accelerating knowledge transfer across European institutions."

Why This Matters for AI Developers and Researchers

  • Reduced Travel Burden: European-based scientists can present NeurIPS papers locally, cutting costs and carbon footprints.
  • Workshop Innovation: Independently organized workshops allow for experimental formats—e.g., hands-on coding sessions for frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow.
  • Community Building: ELLIS's involvement emphasizes pan-European networking, potentially spurring collaborations on EU-funded AI initiatives.

Technical implications include accelerated adoption of research into tools and libraries, as workshops often translate academic concepts into deployable code. For example, a session on efficient transformers could yield optimizations for real-time inference systems.

Venue: Bella Center Copenhagen, Center Blvd. 5, 2300 København S, Denmark.
