About KICSS 2026

The International Conference on Knowledge, Information and Creativity Support Systems (KICSS) is an annual international forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators to exchange ideas, present research findings, and discuss emerging challenges in knowledge science, information systems, creativity support systems, and intelligent technologies.

KICSS 2026 aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers working in artificial intelligence, knowledge engineering, decision support systems, creativity support systems, human-computer interaction, and related fields. As artificial intelligence increasingly influences the way knowledge is created, shared, and utilized, KICSS 2026 particularly welcomes contributions that explore the integration of human knowledge, creativity, and intelligent technologies to address societal and industrial challenges.

The conference invites original and unpublished contributions reporting theoretical advances, methodological developments, system implementations, experimental studies, case studies, and innovative applications.
