Welcome to GECCO 2027 in Kraków, Poland – a city that has continuously evolved for more than a thousand years while preserving the rich heritage that defines its character. Once the royal capital of Poland and today one of Europe’s most celebrated medieval cities, Kraków seamlessly blends centuries of history with the energy of a modern, forward-looking metropolis. Its historic streets, architectural treasures, and vibrant public spaces create an inspiring environment for bringing together the international community of researchers in genetic and evolutionary computation.
Just as evolutionary processes build on the past to create new possibilities, Kraków has continually reinvented itself as a centre of knowledge, creativity, and innovation. Home to Jagiellonian University – one of Europe’s oldest universities – the city has nurtured generations of scholars, scientists, and visionaries for more than six centuries. Today, this academic tradition is complemented by a flourishing ecosystem of research institutions, including one of the best technical universities in Poland – AGH University of Kraków, technology companies, startups, and international collaborations, making Kraków one of Central Europe’s leading centres of science and innovation.
We invite you to complement an outstanding scientific programme by experiencing a city where history and progress coexist naturally. Explore the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town, discover centuries of art, architecture, and culture, and enjoy the welcoming cafés, restaurants, and lively atmosphere created by one of Europe’s largest student communities. Whether you come to exchange ideas, establish new collaborations, or simply enjoy one of Europe’s most captivating cities, we hope GECCO 2027 in Kraków will be both intellectually stimulating and personally memorable.
