COSEAL 2026 in Aachen: Registration is Open

[Shavit, Hadar]

Dear all,

We are happy to announce that registration for COSEAL 2026 in Aachen is officially open!

You can find more details about the workshop here: https://www.coseal.net/coseal-workshop-2026/

Ready to join us? Fill out the registration form here: https://www.soscisurvey.de/coseal2026/. Please note that the form will close on 15 February 2026.

Key Details:

• Location: Aachen, Germany, at the beautiful Stadtpalais der Erholungsgesellschaft.
• Date: 18-20 May 2026 
• Cost: Registration is FREE (but mandatory)! Please note that all other costs (accommodation, food, travel) are at the expense of the participants.

This year, we are celebrating 50 years since Rice's 1976 paper introduced algorithm selection with a special session dedicated to the topic. 

We warmly invite all participants to contribute to the workshop, either by presenting a poster or giving a short oral presentation. If you're planning to contribute, please let us know when you fill out the registration form!

Important Note on Participation: Due to venue capacity restrictions, we have a strict limit of 100 participants. As we expect high interest, simply filling out the registration form does not automatically guarantee your place at COSEAL 2026. We will review all pre-registrations by the end of February and send out the confirmation emails to the selected participants. Participation will not be granted on a first-come-first-serve basis, and presenting a poster and/or giving an oral presentation increases the chances for successful registration.

Accommodation: To make your stay easier, we have pre-reserved 70 hotel rooms in Aachen (which will be at the expense of the participants). Once your place is confirmed, we will send you the special booking link, which you can use if you wish to book one of these rooms. Please do not book any accommodation or finalise any travel plans before your place at COSEAL 2026 is confirmed!

If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at cosea...@aim.rwth-aachen.de.

We are very much looking forward to seeing you in Aachen!

Best regards,

Hadar, Nick, Anja and Holger
