This five-day Summer School deals with the principles, assumptions, models, learning algorithms, convergence issues, strengths, limitations, applications of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM) and new web-based and open-source software tools for them. All computer experiments and hands on will be based on the web-based tool and other open-source codes for FCM inference and learning developed and supervised by Organizer (in R and GitHub).

Summer School Scope
 Is dedicated to providing participants on deep insights in fundamentals, inference approaches, modeling           methods, learning algorithms, optimization, prediction and decision making issues for FCMs 

 Hands on exercises and real case studies using codes developed by organizers and webbased, new open-source tools for modeling, inference and decision making

 Participants will bring their own problems from different application domains and through our expertise we will try to provide suggestions to reach reliable solutions.

 Web-based software tool, called FCM wizard, will be fully accessible by participants which will be able to experimented with this, investigate and perform their real case problems. (see www.fcmwizard.com)
Registration (420 euro) Registration includes attendance to the summer school, materials, software tools, exercises, coffee breaks, lunches and a social activity. Registration fees also include a full version of webbased tool FCM WIZARD, which will be used for the practical computer exercises, and for any real problems that attendees want to solve and reach decisions.

 For students (including PhD students): 420 EUR  For other academics (including postdocs): 500 EUR  For professionals: 600 EUR
Important Dates  Application submission opening: December 1st, 2017  Deadline for Application: April 15th, 2018

 Early registration deadline: April 30th, 2018

Target audience
2018 SUMMER SCHOOL ON FUZZY COGNITIVE MAPS, MAY 21-25, LARISA, GREECE
The ideal number of participants is about 50. The summer school will host: a) young researchers who wish to achieve a thesis on the subject or to carry on a personal work which uses FCM or to in-depth their knowledge in this discipline in order to complete their training, and b) academics and scientists from research community that have an interest in using FCMs, either as a theoretical framework or as a methodology and tool for applied research, engineering, industrial applications, environmental management, medical decision support, computer science etc.

Language
The official language of the School is English. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any simultaneous translation.

How to Apply
The summer school invites applications from academics, new generation researchers, applied researchers to use the FCM methodology, doctoral students and postdocs, professionals interested in learning about Fuzzy Cognitive Maps in modelling, prediction, classification and decision support. You need not yet have any experience in Fuzzy Cognitive Maps. Students can be from any area of research. Advanced masters level students can also apply.

Deadline for applications is April 30th, 2018.
