SIGEVO SUMMER SCHOOL (S3)

Held in conjunction with the GECCO 2025 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, please follow this link (TBA) to register.

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 mentored Project, to deepen and apply the acquired knowledge.

The summer school is open to current PhD students and recent graduates. Stay tuned, more details, mentors, and the schedule will be announced here.
