The 31st edition of the Bertinoro International Spring School (BISS) will be held from May 25th to May 29th, 2026. As usual, the school will be held at the University Residential Center in the small medieval town of Bertinoro, around 50 km east of Bologna.

The school offers three graduate-level courses aimed at PhD students in Computer Science. In addition to introducing students to timely research topics, the school provides a unique environment to promote acquaintance and collaboration among young European researchers.

The three courses that will be offered this year are:

• An Introduction to Reinforcement Learning: from Fundamentals to AI Agentic Systems - by Mirco Musolesi (University College of London)
• Artificial Social Intelligence - by Alessandro Vinciarelli (University of Glasgow)
