The 23rd European Conference on Multi-Agent Systems (EUMAS 2026) will be held on September 21-25, 2026
at Malmö University
, Sweden.
EUMAS 2026 is an EURAMAS
designated event which follows the tradition of previous editions, 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 2026 features formal proceedings published as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer.
EUMAS 2026 welcomes original, unpublished papers including improved versions of extended abstracts or (revised) rejected papers from AAMAS, AAAI and IJCAI-ECAI 2026. The submission should describe work that has not been previously published, accepted for publication, nor is currently under review by another conference or journal.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed in a single blind fashion. Submission length depends upon the track that you submit to. Additional pages may be used for references and, if needed, a clearly marked appendix. It should be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS format. For templates and instructions for authors, see Conference proceedings guidelines. Authors must submit their papers through the OpenReview submission site as a single PDF file.
This year, EUMAS is accepting submissions across the following tracks:
Engineering Multi-Agent Systems (Agent Architectures, Agent Programming Languages, Agent Development Methodologies and Tools, Agent-oriented Software Engineering, Action and Planning, Biologically Inspired Approaches, Semantic Web Agents, Socio-technical Systems) Coordination, Organizations, Institutions, Norms and Ethics (Agent Organizations and Institutions, Communication, Cooperation and Coordination, Collective Intentionality, Trust and Reputation, Negotiation, Computational Social Choice, Ethical Behavior of Multi-Agent Systems, Electronic Commerce, Applications of Multi-Agent Systems, Argumentation, Automated Negotiation, Economic Models, Voting and Judgment, Aggregation Models, Game-Theoretic Methods, Self-organization, Theories of Agency, Emergent Behaviour) Multi-Agent Based Simulation (Agent-Based Simulations and Modeling, Agents and Complex Systems, Social Networks) Knowledge Representation, Reasoning and Verification for MAS (Logics for Multi-Agent Systems, Logics for Strategic Reasoning, Verification, Formal Modelling) Learning in Multi-Agent Systems (Adaptation and Learning, Cognitive Models, Deep Reinforcement Learning in Multi-Agent Domains, Use of Machine Learning in Agents and Multi-Agent Systems) Explainable MAS (Multi-agent Architectures for Explainable Planning, XAI, Explainable Negotiation Protocols and Strategies, Explainable User/Agent Profiling) MAS for Robotic Systems and Control (Machine Learning for Multi-Agent Systems, Multi-Robot Systems, Collective and Swarm Intelligence) Human-Centric MAS (Human-Agent Interaction, Virtual Agents, LLM-Powered AI Agents).
This track aims to provide a forum for researchers that are involved in developing agent / MAS toolkits and platforms, or that are using them for the development of applications, to exchange ideas, make proposals, suggest challenges, reports interesting use cases and so on - any aspect that could be of interest in the engineering and using Agent Toolkits.
This track aims to provide opportunities for participants from academia and industry to present their latest developments in agent-based systems. Demonstrations of interest include both applications of multi-agent systems and tools that support developers in the specification, design, implementation and testing of agent systems.
EUMAS2026 will consist of a pre-conference program (Monday + Tuesday, Sep 21-22) as well as the main conference (Wednesday - Friday, Sept 23-25).
As part of the pre-conference program, the 26th European Agent Systems Summer School (EASSS 2026) will take place.
EUMAS 2026 features formal post-proceedings published as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer. Previous EUMAS proceedings are found here.
To prepare the camera ready version for the post-proceedings, authors are required to follow the LNCS guidelines for formatting and submission.
The templates for Springer LNCS proceedings can be found on the Springer website here.
Springer instructions on how to format the paper are available here.

The registration for EUMAS2026 will open in spring 2026.
