******************************************

EvoStar comprises four co-located conferences run each spring at different locations throughout Europe. These events arose out of workshops originally developed by EvoNet, the Network of Excellence in Evolutionary Computing, established by the Information Societies Technology Programme of the European Commission, and they represent a continuity of research collaboration stretching back over 20 years.

EvoStar is organised by SPECIES, the Society for the Promotion of Evolutionary Computation in Europe and its Surroundings. This non-profit academic society is committed to promoting evolutionary algorithmic thinking, with the inspiration of parallel algorithms derived from natural processes. It provides a forum for information and exchange.

The four conferences include:
- EuroGP 24th European Conference on Genetic Programming
http://www.evostar.org/2021/eurogp/

- EvoApplications 24th European Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary and bio-inspired Computation
http://www.evostar.org/2021/evoapps/

- EvoCOP 21st European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimisation
http://www.evostar.org/2021/evocop/

- EvoMUSART 10th International Conference (and 15th European event) on Artificial Intelligence in Music, Sound, Art and Design.
