This workshop will bring together a number of international researchers who will discuss latest results and approaches to advancing the understanding and reasoning with abstractions. Presentations will address a wide area of disciplines, including robotics and engineering, natural language processing, knowledge representation and artificial intelligence, conceptual modelling, biomimetics, as well as cognition and philosophy. 

The workshop is supported through the ‘Abstractron’ project funded by the Autonome Provinz Bozen - Südtirol (Autonomous Province of Bolzano/Bozen) through the Research Südtirol/Alto Adige 2022 Call, the University of Innsbruck, and the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano.
