On behalf of the organizing committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2026 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI) – the world's leading forum for advances in computational intelligence. WCCI 2026 will take place in the beautiful and historic city of Maastricht, a vibrant hub of culture, innovation, and international collaboration. This congress brings together the three flagship conferences of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society: the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN), the IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE), and the IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE CEC). We are committed to delivering a comprehensive and engaging program that includes cutting-edge technical sessions, inspiring keynote talks, hands-on tutorials and workshops, a dynamic student and early-career program, ample networking opportunities, and a dedicated Industry Day – designed to foster meaningful collaboration between academia and industry, and to showcase real-world applications of computational intelligence.
