Summer School

SIGEVO SUMMER SCHOOL (S3)

Held in conjunction with the GECCO 2026 Conference, the SIGEVO Summer School (S3)  goes into round 9. It is an in-person event.

If you are a student intending to attend the SIGEVO Summer School, you can register at the GECCO 2026 registration page, selecting your option for the Summer School.

The summer school will cover the following areas of knowledge:

  • General skills needed by GECCO researchers, e.g. reviewing, paper writing and presenting, as well as best practices for the empirical evaluation of evolutionary algorithms. Taught through lectures and small workshops led by summer school mentors.
  • In-depth knowledge about specific topics within GECCO, mostly through attending tutorials and workshops associated with GECCO. Some mentor sessions will also be tailored towards specific research topics to allow for more in-depth discussions with an expert in the field.
  • Hands-on workshops, to deepen and apply the acquired knowledge.

The summer school is targeting current PhD students and recent graduates, but also welcoming current and recent postgraduate students.
