SMART 2017 – Scientific Methods in Academic Research and Teaching is an international conference that brings together specialists in Artificial Intelligence, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Social Media, and Education, in order to create a proper environment for debates regarding the use of new technologies, especially the intelligent systems, and of the most creative strategies in research, higher education and other fields. The acronym SMART was also used in the previous editions of the conference Bacau – 2013, Timisoara – 2014 and Voronet (Gura Humorului) – 2015, when it stood for “Social Media in Academia: Research and Teaching”. Since our conference in 2016, held in Timisoara, the acronym SMART is used for “Scientific Methods in Academic Research and Teaching”.


This year the conference will focus on the topics related to our academic journal, BRAIN – Broad Research in Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience (indexed in Web of Science).


The papers of SMART 2017 will be published in this journal. BRAIN provides researchers and clinicians with the finest original contributions in artificial intelligence, cognitive sciences and neuroscience. It is indexed in Web of Science (by Clarivate Analytics, formerly known as Thomson-Reuters).
