We can't wait to see your experiences unfold! Please, remember to use the hashtag #GECCO2025 as you connect and share throughout the conference.

GECCO 2025 🦎 officially kicks off tomorrow, right here in Málaga, Spain! We're incredibly excited to welcome all of you for a week packed with groundbreaking research, insightful discussions, and fantastic networking opportunities in evolutionary computation.

Now, at the keynote on benchmarking iterative optimization heuristics by @caroladoerr.bsky.social #MAEB2025

I just presented our #Bio4Res work on the compiler impact on the energy consumption of EAs at the #MAEB2025 conference.

The submission deadline for the upcoming ERCIM News issue dedicated to Swarm Computing is fast approaching! Don't miss this great opportunity to showcase your cutting-edge research to a wider audience.

Want to highlight your #SwarmComputing research? The next issue of ERCIM News will focus on it! Submit your work and gain visibility. More information and submission guidelines:

Registration for #GECCO2025 is open. Early bird gets the worm!

It was my pleasure to invite the participants of #Evostar2025 to join us at #GECCO2025 in Malaga this summer.

Evaluating the Impact of Hysteretic Phenomena and Implementation Choices on Energy Consumption in Evolutionary Algorithms

I just presented our work on hysteretic energy consumption in evolutionary algorithms at the EvoStar conference. Great attendance and many interesting questions! The paper is available at doi.org/10.1007/978-...

The KISS principle in a nutshell.

Now, at the talk on social simulation based on agents that Juan Pavón, from UCM, is delivering in the ETSI Informática of @univmalaga.bsky.social, as a part of our Master program on Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence. Fascinating stuff!

#GECCO2025 will award $10,000 in total for human-competitive results produced by Genetic and Evolutionary Computation. Deadline for competition entries is 30 May 2025. See the call gecco-2025.sigevo.org/Humies

A new vision for how evolution works is long overdue The idea that evolution is driven by an organism’s development — not just the natural selection of its genes — challenges a dearly held orthodoxy among evolutionary biologists.
