The UKCI 2023 conference brought together researchers, practitioners, and students working across the broad field of computational intelligence. Held in September at Aston University, the event acted as a platform where academic and industry participants could meet, exchange ideas, and discuss both current developments and future directions in the subject. The programme spanned multiple technical domains, and contributed papers were reviewed by a dedicated technical programme committee before being scheduled across the conference days.

A General Chair and an organising committee shaped the overall direction of the workshop, coordinating the schedule, the day-by-day programme, and the involvement of invited speakers. The programme also welcomed a keynote speaker from Bielefeld University, alongside other keynote contributors, whose talks set the tone for the sessions on computational intelligence and its applications. Opening remarks on the first day came from a senior representative of the host institution, adding a formal welcome to the proceedings.

Delegates had the opportunity to submit papers for consideration, with accepted submissions published in the conference proceedings as a volume of advances in the subject. Contributors were provided with formatting, copyright, and publication requirements well ahead of the submission deadlines, ensuring a consistent and well-organised body of work for the technical programme to present. The structured review and scheduling process helped maintain a balanced programme across the sessions.

Beyond the formal sessions, the conference encouraged the exchange of perspectives between academia, industry, and government, bringing together experts and emerging researchers in an inclusive and supportive environment. Networking time, workshops, and shared discussion of upcoming research topics helped participants build connections and identify collaboration opportunities. The UKCI 2023 website remains a useful reference point for the schedule, programme, committee information, publication details, and general information about the event.
