We are inviting you to submit your latest top-quality work for presentation and publication at the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference 2025, the premier conference in the field of genetic and evolutionary computation. Topics include genetic algorithms, genetic programming, swarm intelligence, complex systems, evolutionary combinatorial optimization and metaheuristics, evolutionary machine learning, evolutionary multiobjective optimization, evolutionary numerical optimization, neuroevolution, real-world applications, theory, hybrids, and more. Full details on the conference tracks are available at https://gecco-2025.sigevo.org/Tracks. GECCO 2025 is going to be held as a hybrid event.

The GECCO 2025 Program Committee invites you to submit technical papers describing your best work in genetic and evolutionary computation. Full papers of at most 8 pages (excluding references) should present original work that meets the high-quality standards of the conference. Accepted full papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library as part of the Main Proceedings of GECCO 2025.

Each paper submitted to GECCO 2025 will be rigorously evaluated in a double-blind review process. Evaluation is done on a per-track basis, ensuring high interest and high expertise of the reviewers. Review criteria include the significance of the work, technical soundness, novelty, clarity, writing quality, relevance and, if applicable, sufficiency of information to permit replication. In addition to full papers, poster-only papers of at most 4 pages (including references) may also be submitted. Poster-only papers are expected to present original work that has not yet reached the maturity and completeness of research results that are published as full papers at GECCO. The review of poster-only submissions follow the same double-blind process mentioned above.

Accepted poster-only papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library as part of the Companion Proceedings of GECCO 2025. Poster-only papers are due by the non-extendable deadline of January 29, 2025, and no abstract needs to be submitted first.
