8 - 10 April 2026, 29th European Conference on Genetic Programming (EuroGP), Toulouse [FR]
EuroGP is the premier annual conference on Genetic Programming (GP), the oldest and the only meeting worldwide explicitly devoted to this branch of evolutionary computation. It is always a high-quality, enjoyable, friendly event, attracting participants from all continents, and offering excellent opportunities for networking, informal contact, and exchange of ideas with fellow researchers. It will feature a mixture of oral presentations and poster sessions and invited keynote speakers. EuroGP 2026 will be held as part of EvoStar 2026.
Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to:
* Methodological advances:
* Infrastructure and Evaluation Methodologies
* Meta-evolution and Self-adaptation
* Applications
* Hybrid and Unconventional Approaches
Accepted papers will be published by Springer Nature in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. They will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. The reviewing process will be double-blind, so please omit information about the authors in the submitted paper.

4 November 2025, Het unieke dier -- What distinguishes us from other animals and what do we have in common with them?
Waarin verschillen we van andere dieren, en wat delen we met hen? Begrijpen we werkelijk wie we zijn? Rede, moraal, abstract denken, taal en religie golden lang als uniek menselijk, maar onderzoek heeft laten zien dat andere dieren deze vermogens ook kennen. Is misschien het onderscheid tussen mens en dier niet zozeer een specifieke eigenschap, maar de mate waarin we die eigenschappen ontwikkelen? In dit programma duiken we met experts uit de filosofie, biologie, muziekcognitie en taalkunde in deze brandende vragen, en komen tot nieuwe antwoorden: Rens Bod, Bernice Bovenkerk, Carel ten Cate, Henkjan Honing en Jelle Zuidema.

6 - 7 November 2025, Acquaintance, Familiarity & Value
In the upcoming workshop "Acquaintance, Familiarity & Value" we will explore topics surrounding the phenomenon of the “acquaintance inference" of aesthetic language. The use of aesthetic language to describe an object (e.g., predicates of personal taste, aesthetic adjectives, subjective attitude verbs) invites the inference that the speaker has first-hand acquaintance with that object. E.g., if I tell you that The Birth of Venus is a wonderful painting, you are likely to assume that I have seen The Birth of Venus. This seemingly trivial observation has intrigued linguists, aestheticians, and philosophers of language, especially in the last 10+ years.
Recently, researchers have turned their attention to other phenomena with similar features, e.g., the "practical opinionatedness" inference of moral predicates, the familiarity inference triggered by verbs like ‘consider’, or acquaintance inferences triggered by other expressions, e.g. appearance predicates.

3 - 5 April 2026, The 5th Tsinghua Interdisciplinary Workshop on Logic, Language and Meaning (TLLM2026) "Modality in Logic and Language", Tsinghua University, Beijing, China
The TLLM workshops aim to bring together logicians, philosophers, and linguists around a specific theme of common interest. For the 2026 event, the theme is unusually wide, and we welcome contributions on any general or particular aspect of the modalities in logic or language.
We invite submissions of 2-page abstracts (including references) on any of the broad themes related to the modality in logic and language as suggested above. After a review procedure, authors of accepted abstracts will have the opportunity to present their papers at the workshop, either as a contributed talk or in the poster session. The poster session is intended to provide an informal setting for discussion and to encourage participation from early-career researchers and students. After the workshop, a volume of full papers (properly refereed) will be published in the Springer LNCS – FoLLI series.
18 - 20 February 2026, PLM Workshop "Traces and Engrams: Philosophical and Neuroscientific Perspectives on Memory"
This PLM workshop aims to bring together philosophers and scientists working on memory. The workshop focuses on the role of memory traces and engrams for remembering. We intend to foster interdisciplinary dialogue on the theoretical foundations and empirical underpinnings of traces and engrams across philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, and related disciplines.
We invite submissions of abstracts for paper and poster presentations. Abstracts should be anonymous, not more than 250 words (not including references). Please submit your anonymized abstracts through our submission page.
