Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science). The conference will take
place from Tuesday 2nd June to Thursday 4th June 2026 in Kortrijk, Belgium.
The conference website is: https://wg2026.be
The scientific program involves invited talks by:
* Rose McCarty (Georgia Institute of Technology, USA)
* Pascal Schweitzer (TU Darmstadt, Germany),
a talk by one of the recipients of WG 2026 Test of Time Award:
* Dimitrios M. Thilikos (LIRMM, Université de Montpellier, CNRS, France),
and a number of contributed talks.
AIMS AND SCOPE
WG is mainly concerned with efficient algorithms of various types (e.g.,
sequential, parallel, distributed, randomized, parameterized) for
problems on graphs and networks. The goal is to present recent results
and to identify and explore directions for future research. Submitted
papers should describe original results in any aspects of graph theory
related to computer science, including but not restricted to:
* design and analysis of sequential, parallel, randomized, parameterized
algorithms
* distributed graph and network algorithms
* structural graph theory
* computational complexity of graph and network problems
* graph drawing and layouts
* computational geometry
* computational biology
* graph mining
* random graphs and models of the web and scale-free networks
* support of the above concepts by suitable implementations and
applications.
IMPORTANT DATES (all dates in AoE time zone)
Abstract submission deadline: 1 February 2026
Paper submission deadline: 4 February 2026
Acceptance notification: 3 April 2026
Final version: 4 May 2026
Conference: 2-4 June 2026
SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS
WG 2026 is the first edition to have LIPIcs proceedings. The conference
will use a lightweight double-blind model for the reviewing process. For
more details on the format, see the conference website:

The Program Committee will bestow a Best Paper Award and a Best Student
Paper Award. Papers eligible for the best student paper can have
non-student co-authors, but the main work in a paper that is a candidate
for the best student paper award must be done by co-authors that were
students at the time of submission, and the award can be received only
by such co-authors.
The submission server is:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wg2026, it will be opened in
December.
