We invite submissions to the 19th International Conference on Graph Transformation (ICGT 2026), to be held in Rennes, France, as part of STAF 2026 (Software Technologies: Applications and Foundations) between 29th June and 3rd July.

Full call details: https://conf.researchr.org/track/icgt-2026/icgt-2026-icgt-research-papers

ICGT is the leading venue for research on graphs and graph transformation, encompassing theoretical foundations, tools, and applications. Graph-based formalisms are central to diverse domains including: software architectures, model driven engineering, network topologies, cyber-physical systems, quantum computing, exploring molecular structures, and graph databases.

*We aim to broaden participation*

ICGT is not only a theory conference, and we also welcome applications, tools, and case studies.

If your work uses graph rewriting technologies (e.g., graph databases, quantum compilers, AI/ML), ICGT is for you.

*Topics Include*

Theory: e.g. Models, verification, concurrency, logical aspects
Applications: e.g. Software engineering, quantum computing, AI/GNNs, graph databases, business processes
Tools: e.g. Languages, environments, tool support

*Important Dates (AoE)*

Abstracts: 16 Feb 2026
Papers: 23 Feb 2026
Notification: 6 Apr 2026
Camera-ready: 27 Apr 2026

*Submission Categories*

Accepted papers will appear in LNCS proceedings.

Regular Research Papers (16 pp LNCS)
Tool Presentations (8 pp LNCS)
Vision Papers / Open Challenges (8 pp LNCS)
Journal-First Extended Abstracts (2 pp LNCS)
