History
The 2026 8th IEEE International Conference on BioInspired Processing (BIP) is an event specialized in computational application to natural sciences and biologically inspired computational sciences.
In 2026 the conference will be hosted by Universidad de Costa Rica, Recinto de Guápiles, Pococí, Costa Rica, from November 11th to 13th.
BIP 2026 encourages authors in these areas to submit their original work for conference consideration.
Purpose
BIP originated as an effort to leverage a tradition in Costa Rica that promotes high-level international scientific research related to natural sciences. In part, this is due to the rich biodiversity of the country, the national system of conservation areas, and the local human and technical resources to develop this research. Also there is expertise in the country on zoological, population or related aspects (animal species, biodiversity, antiophidic serums research, etc.), microbiology, molecular biology and other areas in natural sciences.
These areas require the introduction of techniques and resources from the fields of engineering and exact sciences (high-performance computing, mathematical modeling, signal processing, among others). The evolution of these last disciplines, in Costa Rica, has resulted in the need for a scientific congress that brings together national researchers in the field, putting them in contact with the international community working at the highest level on these same problems.
