The 19th International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving From Nature (PPSN) will be held in Trento, Italy, from August 29 to September 2. PPSN is a biannual open forum on the study of natural models, iterative optimization heuristics, machine learning, and other artificial intelligence approaches.
Originally designed to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of Natural Computing, PPSN has evolved and welcomes works on all types of iterative optimization heuristics, including connections between search heuristics and machine learning. We invite submissions covering the full spectrum of work, ranging from rigorously derived mathematical results to carefully crafted empirical studies.
The deadline for workshop and tutorial proposals is approaching:
Workshop proposal deadline: February 22, 2026
Tutorial proposal deadline: February 22, 2026
Paper submission deadline: March 28, 2026

And don't forget, paper submissions are open until March 28, 2026.
Feel free to distribute this call. Thank you for your time, and apologies for any cross-posting.
We hope to see you in Trento for PPSN 2026!
