Call for Scientific Presentations

AI Day 2025

AI Day is the main annual event highlighting Finnish AI research and its 
applications taking place November 13, 2025, in Otaniemi, Espoo, Finland.

The scientific program of AI Day 2025 is organized by the Finnish 
Artificial Intelligence Society FAIS (Suomen tekoälyseura STeS).

A key aim of the scientific program is to provide a comprehensive 
overview of the various AI research directions currently pursued in 
Finland. To this end, we encourage submissions presenting recent 
research results and innovative applications of all areas of AI, 
including (but not restricted to):

  • Agent-based and Multi-agent Systems

  • Computational Intelligence

  • Computer Vision

  • Constraints, Satisfiability, and Optimization

  • Games and Virtual Environments

  • Heuristic Search

  • Human Aspects in AI

  • Human Computer Interaction

  • Information Retrieval and Filtering

  • Knowledge Representation and Reasoning

  • Machine Learning

  • Multidisciplinary Topics and Applications

  • Natural Language Processing

  • Planning and Scheduling

  • Robotics

  • Safe, Explainable, and Trustworthy AI

  • Semantic Technologies

  • Uncertainty in AI

IMPORTANT DATES

  • Paper/abstract submission deadline: September 5, 2025

  • Notifications: September 15, 2025

  • Registration for presenters: between September 16 and October 5

  • Conference: November 13, 2025

AUTHOR GUIDELINES

The focus of the scientific program is in communicating forefront research of the Finnish AI research community. Submissions from outside Finland are not considered.

There are two submission categories:

  • 1-page abstracts, to be presented as posters

  • Full papers, to be presented as either posters or 15-minute talks, 
    based on papers published, submitted or to be submitted in or after 2025 
    in international conferences. The program committee decides about the 
    form of the presentation based on the interest of the work to the AI Day 
    audience.

All submissions are in the form of a PDF file. For full papers, any 
paper format used by major conferences or journals can be used. For 
already published or accepted publications indicate the publication 
venue in the paper PDF.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

The submission deadline is September 5, 2025. Late submissions will not 
be considered.

As there will be no published formal proceedings, submitting work for 
presentation at AI Day 2025 will not disqualify the work from being 
submitted and published at other peer-reviewed forums.

WHERE AND HOW TO SUBMIT

Submissions are through the Microsoft CMT website (link will be 
activated soon).

Register for Microsoft CMT and submit a single PDF file together with 
the required metadata by September 5.

PROGRAM COMMITTEE AND THE SELECTION PROCESS

Program committee:

  • Lili Aunimo, Haaga-Helia University of Applied Science

The submissions will be screened for suitability, with an emphasis on 
scientific relevance in terms of AI research and interest to the Finnish 
AI research community broadly interpreted. A key aim in the selection of 
presentations is to obtain a balanced scientific program covering the 
various AI research directions pursued in Finland.

Detailed instructions on the final form of scientific presentations will 
be later provided to authors of accepted presentations.
