The AIxIA 2021 Conference will host a series of workshops dedicated to specific and hot 
topics  that will complement the main conference program. AIxIA Working Groups, scientific 
and industrial research groups, and individual researchers interested in a subarea of 
Artificial Intelligence or in a related topic of growing importance are invited to submit 
proposals of workshops associated with AIxIA 2021. We particularly welcome proposals aimed 
at bringing together researchers from a wide range of disciplines, to exchange ideas, and 
to allow cross-fertilization.
