RIED at the 2026 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI), the world’s leading event for Computational Intelligence research and applications.

During the IEEE World Conference on Computational Intelligence, held in Maastricht, 22- 26 June, about 1500 scientists from around the world focused on the technology behind applications that are critical to our modern society, such as health care, energy management, and industry. The scientists discussed topics on the explainability of artificial intelligence and large language models, as well as technological developments in neural networks, evolutionary computing, and fuzzy systems. 

At this conference, two RIED papers were presented. In the session ‘Evolutionary Optimisation for Complex Engineering Challenges’, Edgar presented his paper ‘Radial Basis Functions for Topology Optimisation of Engineering Structures’.

In the session ‘Related Topics II’, which Andy Tyrrell chaired, Babis presented his paper ‘Exploring the Adjacent Possible in Engineering Design via Graph Operation Programs’, which had been nominated as a Best Student paper.
