18th ACM/SIGEVO Conference on Foundations of Genetic Algorithms, FOGA XVIII

FOGA 2025 is the latest edition of the international conference organised by ACM/SIGEVO and hosted by the Leiden Institute of Computer Science (LIACS) in Leiden, the Netherlands. Taking place from 27 to 29 August 2025, the conference provides a platform for researchers, academics and professionals to explore advances in evolutionary algorithms and related randomised search heuristics.
Since its first edition in 1990 in Bloomington, Indiana, FOGA has grown into a leading forum for theoretical and practical innovations. Topics of interest include runtime analysis, mathematical analysis tools, configuration of algorithms, multi-objective optimisation and the connection between black-box optimisation and machine learning.

FOGA invites researchers to submit articles by 2 May 2025. Key dates include the opportunity for authors to defend their work from 6 to 13 June 2025, with announcement of decisions on 27 June 2025.
The conference offers a valuable experience for anyone interested in the latest developments in this dynamic field. Remember to obtain an ORCID ID, as this is required for publication of accepted papers. For more information and registration, visit the website.
