The International Conference on Unconventional Computation and Natural Computation (UCNC) series is a forum bringing together scientists from many different backgrounds who are united in their interest in novel forms of computation, human-designed computation inspired by nature, and computational aspects of natural processes. UCNC provides a forum for such scientists to meet and discuss their work. The 22nd International Conference on Unconventional Computation and Natural Computation (UCNC 2025) will be held at the Université Côte d'Azur, Valrose Campus, Nice, France on September 1-5, 2025 and will continue the tradition of focusing on current important theoretical and experimental results and their critical evaluation.
