Forthcoming EURAMAS events
EUMAS 2024 is an EURAMAS designated event which follows the tradition of previous editions (Oxford 2003, Barcelona 2004, Brussels 2005, Lisbon 2006, Hammamet 2007, Bath 2008, Agia Napa 2009, Paris 2010, Maastricht 2011, Dublin 2012, Toulouse 2013, Prague 2014, Athens 2015, Valencia 2016, Evry 2017, Bergen 2018, Thessaloniki 2020, Israel (online) 2021 Düsseldorf 2023, Naples 2023), and aims to encourage and support activity in the research and development of multi- agent systems, in academic and industrial effort. The conference aspires to be the primary European forum for researchers interested in the theory and practice of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. EUMAS enables researchers to meet, present challenges, preliminary and mature research results in an open environment. EUMAS 2024 features formal proceddings published as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer
Last EURAMAS events
The 23rd European Agent Systems Summer School was held at the Faculty of Information Technology of Czech Technical University in Prague in the Czech Republic from July 17th till 21st, 2023. The EASSS 2023 is organised under the auspices of EURAMAS, the European Association for Multi-Agent Systems.
The 20th European Conference on Multi-Agent Systems (EUMAS 2023) was located at the University of Naples (September 14-15th, 2023).
Objects and Activities
The European Association for Multi-Agent Systems (EURAMAS) is a non-profit organisation aimed at promoting European science and technology in the area of multiagent systems. In pursuit of its objects the Association shall engage in activities including:
-
Becoming a representative forum for European experts within the field of multiagent systems;
-
Coordinating with scientific and other institutions, organizations and other societies, including industrial companies, governments and international bodies with similar or related purposes;
-
Granting scholarships and making awards to promote or acknowledge research in artificial intelligence or multiagent systems;
-
Managing a set of “Designated Events” and ensuring their proper organisation.
Designated Events
Since December 2009, the Designated Events of EURAMAS are the following:
-
The European Conference on Multiagent Systems EUMAS (former European Workshop on Multiagent Systems).
-
The European Summer School on Multiagent Systems (EASSS)
Guidelines For The Organizers Of The Euramas Designated Events
The organizers of the designated event should
1. Mention EURAMAS as a sponsor/co-organizer on the web site of the event and all dissemination/advertisement material.
2. Look for additional sponsors. IFAAMAS, EURAI, AIJ, KER, Springer, ECCAI and local institutions are often prepared to sponsor events in this area.
3. Keep fees as low as possible while budgeting to leave a small profit, if possible. 30% of any profit should be transferred to EURAMAS.
4. Provide additional support for students, if possible.
5. Send the budget for approval to the EURAMAS Treasurer at least a month before the event, and a copy of the closing accounts within 12 months of the end event.
In the event of a loss, EURAMAS will cover up to 30% of that loss in a way to be agreed between EURAMAS and the organizers. For example, the local institution, or whichever organisation is managing conference/summerschool finances, may invoice EURAMAS for this amount and supply the conference/summerschool accounts.
Alternatively, EURAMAS may refund invited speakers or students or pay for other eligible expenses of the designated event, for an amount of up to 30% of the loss.
EURAMAS is prepared to offer additional financial support to conferences, for instance to support speaker expenses, or student travel awards. These should be discussed with the EURAMAS board well in advance and included in the conference budget.
These guidelines were approved by the Board in office on October 28th, 2022
