July 11 - July 14, 2021

The 2021 IEEE International Conference on
Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE 2021), the world-leading event
focusing on the theory and application of fuzzy set and
systems, will be held in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg,
Europe.
Located at the heart of Europe, Luxembourg provides a
stimulating, picturesque and historic backdrop to the
conference. With a vast set of cultural and leisure
activities at your fingertips, the city and country also offer
ample opportunities to recharge your batteries with
friends, family and colleagues outside the conference.
Linked to the rest of Europe by a first-class road network
and excellent rail connections (e.g. TGV train from Paris in
under 2.5 hours), Luxembourg is easily accessible from
anywhere in Europe. Internationally, frequent air
connections are available from Luxembourg airport via
major hubs like London, Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich,
Amsterdam or Paris, making Luxembourg reachable
within one hour flight from across Europe and via a single
connection from most countries worldwide.
FUZZ-IEEE 2021 will be hosted at the Alvisse Parc Hotel
(http://www.parc-hotel.lu), set in quiet, green
surroundings within minutes of Luxembourg City. Public
transport is free in Luxembourg, offering convenient
mobility. With ongoing uncertainty around COVID-19, the
conference will keep a close eye on international
developments and shape the program to maximise
engagement and deliver the best experience possible -
whether in-person, virtual, or both.
FUZZ-IEEE 2021 will represent a unique meeting point for
scientists and engineers, from academia and industry, to
interact and discuss the latest enhancements and
innovations in the field. The topics of the conference will
cover all aspects of theory and applications of fuzzy sets
and systems and its hybridisations with other artificial and
computational intelligence techniques. Under its 2021
theme, 'Handling Uncertainty in Interpretable AI', the
conference will emphasise the handling of uncertainty, in
particular in the context of interpretable and interactive
AI, actively promoting engagement across disciplines.
FUZZ-IEEE 2021 topics include, but are not limited to:

analytics, and visualization, *Fuzzy systems
design and optimization, *Fuzzy decision analysis, multicriteria decision making and decision support, *Applications
of fuzzy sets and systems, fuzzy measures and integrals,
