About us

The 17th edition of the biennial International Conference on Artificial Evolution (EA 2026) is dedicated to optimization techniques that simulate natural evolution. The conference focuses on mechanisms of living organisms and uses technical and theoretical tools for problem-solving. This year, special focus is placed on combining metaheuristics and reinforcement learning, alongside traditional topics in evolutionary computation.
