EvoStar 2027 - EuroGP, EvoAPPS, EvoCOP, EvoLearn and EvoMUSART
by EvoStar
Europe's annual gathering for evolutionary computation and bio-inspired AI, now with an EvoLLMs session
About This Event
EvoStar 2027 takes place 31 March - 2 April 2027 in Mainz, Germany, in hybrid mode, bringing together five co-located conferences: EuroGP on genetic programming, EvoAPPS on applications, EvoCOP on evolutionary combinatorial optimisation, EvoMUSART on art, music and design, and the newly added EvoLearn. It is Europe's principal annual venue for evolutionary computation and bio-inspired AI. The 2027 EvoApplications programme runs nine special sessions, including EvoLLMs on integrating evolutionary computing with large language models, evolutionary computation for explainable and trustworthy AI, evolutionary AI in digital healthcare and personalised medicine, computational intelligence for sustainability, bioinspired algorithms for green computing, machine learning in humanitarian logistics and disaster forecasting, particle swarm optimisation, and soft computing applied to games. Papers are due 1 November 2026.

Topics & Focus Areas
Who Should Attend
- ✓Head of Data Science
- ✓Optimisation and OR leads
- ✓ML research engineers
- ✓Supply chain and scheduling architects
- ✓Academic researchers
- ✓R&D directors
Why Attend
This is the venue for the optimisation half of enterprise AI - scheduling, routing, network design, hyperparameter and architecture search - which rarely appears at generative-AI conferences but is where a great deal of measurable operational saving actually lives. The EvoLLMs session is directly relevant to teams trying to use large language models for search and program synthesis, and the explainable-and-trustworthy-AI session speaks to regulated deployments where a black-box model will not clear review. Hybrid attendance means a data science lead can send one person to Mainz and have the rest of the team join the sessions remotely.
