This book constitutes the proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Unconventional Computation and Natural Computation, UCNC 2023, held in Jacksonville, FL, USA, in March 13–17, 2023. The UCNC conference series covers fundamental research on computation beyond the standard Turing model, including computational models and methods inspired by nature, and the computational properties of natural processes.
