Call for Contributed Presentations

HALG 2026 invites submissions for short contributed presentations. Each accepted contribution will consist of a poster and a short talk (serving as an introduction to the poster).

There will be no conference proceedings. Work that has already been published at another venue or journal (or is intended for submission elsewhere) is welcome.

If you would like to present your results at HALG 2026, please submit the details of your contribution via EasyChair, including the abstract of the talk or poster.

The abstract should include (when relevant) information about where the results have been published or accepted (e.g., conference or journal), and where they are publicly available (e.g., arXiv).

All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee (PC), with priority given to papers published in 2025 or later.
