Day on Computational Gametheory 2026
The 16th edition of the Day on Computational Game Theory (CGT) takes place at Heinrich-Heine University in Germany on March 5-6, 2026.
The day(s) on computational game theory is a platform for researchers in algorithmic game theory, mechanism design and social choice to connect and share their work. The location of this event alternates yearly between the Netherlands and Germany. Especially young researchers (PhD, Postdoc, assistant professors) are encouraged to present and discuss their work here.
If you have any questions, please contact Andreas Abels.
