The CREST Open Workshop programme consists of a series of informal workshops organised by the CREST Centre (Centre for Research on Evolution Search & Testing) at UCL.
The aim of this regular workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on a topic with a focus on discussion and interaction and with no formal proceedings. We create the program by invitation and then issue a call of participation. Outstanding researchers from all over the world are invited to present their original work and the workshops attract a high level of active international participation
