Instructions for Workshop papers
Workshop papers must be submitted using the GECCO submission site. After login, the authors need to select the "Workshop Paper" submission form. In the form, the authors must select the workshop they are submitting to. To see a sample of the "Workshop Paper" submission form go to GECCO's submission site and chose "Sample Submission Forms".
Submitted papers must not exceed 8 pages (excluding references) and are required to be in compliance with the GECCO 2025 Papers Submission Instructions. Please, review the Workshops instructions, since some Workshops could reduce the page limit. It is recommended to use the same templates as the papers submitted to the main tracks. It is not required to remove the author information if the workshop does not have a double-blind review process (please, check the workshop description or the workshop organizers on this).
All accepted papers will be presented at the corresponding workshop and appear in the GECCO Conference Companion Proceedings. By submitting a paper, the author(s) agree that, if their paper is accepted, they will:
- Submit a final, revised, camera-ready version to the publisher on or before the camera-ready deadline
- Register at least one author before (May 8, 2025) to attend the conference
- Provide a pre-recorded version of the talk or poster and be present during the assigned slot to present the work and/or answer questions from the audience. Most workshops will facilitate hybrid-mode (again, please check the workshop website for details).
