After three years of on-line and hybrid conferences, the European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning (ESANN) came back to an almost 100% in-person conference, held in Bruges (Belgium) with a great success of attendants and top-quality scientific contributions. IDAL member Prof. José D. Martín-Guerrero participated in the conference with the organization of the special session on Quantum Artificial Intelligence and with the presentation of a tutorial on this topic, on top of being part of the scientific committee, as usual. The special session was organized in collaboration with Prof. Lucas Lamata (Universidad de Sevilla, Spain), and Thomas Villmann (Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, Saxon Institute for Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning, Germany).
