The Joint Lectures on Evolutionary Algorithms (JoLEA) are a series of events aimed at disseminating the latest, top-quality research on EAs.

JoLEA is an initiative that was born in 2021 in the Netherlands, from the minds of (in alphebetical order) prof. dr. Thomas Bäck (Leiden University), prof. dr. Peter A.N. Bosman (CWI), prof. dr. Gusz Eiben (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam), and dr. ir. Dirk Thierens (Utrecht University).

JoLEA is brought to you by CWI, Leiden University, Utrecht University, and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

The goal is to disseminate high-quality research on evolutionary algorithms. JoLEA events take place every two months. Speakers alternate between world-renowned senior researchers, who provide a lecture on their established research line, and junior researchers (PhD students, postdocs, etc.), who present and discuss their latest and work-in-progress research results.
