Any full-time university student, at any level, may apply to participate, whether or not they are presenting a paper. However, priority will be given to those students who have accepted contribution to the IJCAI-ECAI-2026 including main conference, workshop, tutorial, competition and so on. Post-Docs do not qualify.
