About

The SICSA Pre-EC Day allows colleagues in the field of evolutionary computation the opportunity to showcase their most recent work. The conference’s primary focus is on researchers who have papers/posters accepted at upcoming 2025 conferences, giving them the chance to present their work to an expert, supportive community of EC researchers from across Scottish institutions. The event also allows colleagues who cannot attend conferences such as GECCO, CEC, Evo* the opportunity to hear about the latest research being developed in Scotland.

We will welcome speakers who have accepted papers across the summer 2025 conferences, as well as speakers who have field-specific or field-adjacent research that would be of interest to the EC research community.

The event will be hybrid, and virtual attendance and virtual presentation will both be supported.

Attendance is free for students and academics based in Scotland.

Programme

The programme will consist of in-person talks, online talks, and poster presentations of EC work from authors at Scottish institutions. If you are based in Scotland and would like to present your work, please submit a proposal.

Organisers
