We invite tutorial proposals for the 25th European Agent Systems Summer School, which will be hosted by the Faculty of Automatic Control and Computers of the National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA of Bucharest, Romania, from the 1st to the 3rd September, 2025.

Since 1999, the annual European Agent Systems Summer School (EASSS) has provided a highly successful forum for knowledge exchange between researchers in the field of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. As was the case with the earlier editions, EASSS 2025 will offer a rich program of both introductory and advanced courses on a broad range of topics in the area of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. The courses will be taught by leading researchers in the field, and are aimed at advanced Masters students, PhD students, and other young researchers.

We are interested in tutorial proposals in all areas of current research in Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. As a very rough guideline, any topic that might be covered at the AAMAS conference or in the JAAMAS journal would be suitable for EASSS. We aim for a mix of tutorials on fundamental and well-established topics, as well as overviews of new and emerging areas of research. For emerging MAS technologies, we particularly welcome tutorials on approaches that leverage both the classical as well as the LLM-supported notion of agency.

Tutorials should cover an appropriate selection of approaches and not specifically focus on the tutors' own contributions. Besides providing a coherent overview of a specific research topic, we specifically encourage tutorial proposals to articulate a clear link to applications and pragmatic consideration of the fundamental topics presented.

EASSS tutorials are typically 3 hours long, divided into two sessions of 90 minutes each. For the detailed call for tutorials, please see below. We encourage both well-established senior researchers and younger colleagues to submit proposals. Each tutorial is usually given by one or two tutors. Exceptions are of course possible; for proposals by more than two tutors, please justify this choice in the proposal and explain how you intend to ensure the coherence of the tutorial. To assist the tutors, we can support a partial or full reimbursement of travel and accommodation costs per tutorial, for an amount to be announced soon.

The 25th European Agent Systems Summer School (EASSS) will be held in the Faculty of Automatic Control and Computers of the National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA of Bucharest, from September 1st to September 3rd 2025.

The programme will include both introductory and advanced courses on a range of topics in the area of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems including: Engineering Multi-Agent Systems (EMAS), Agent-Based Modelling and Simulation (ABMS), Reinforcement Learning (RL), Coordination, Organisations, Institutions, Norms and Ethics (COINE), LLM-supported AI agents and Multi-Agent Systems (AI Agents).

In addition to tutorials, we will invite topical keynote talks from leading researchers.

The last day of the summer school will overlap with the first day of the EUMAS 2025.

Apart from keynotes and tutorial, EASSS participants are invited to do networking and engage with the European MAS community in two ways:

1. Prepare a short 2 minute presentation of yourself and your ongoing research work. Use the presentation to draw attention to a poster of your research work that will be displayed during a poster session on the day when EASSS and EUMAS overlap.
2. Engage in a working group to develop research ideas around themes discussed in tutorials or keynotes of the Summer School. Deliver as a team a short presentation of the resulting idea in a session on the day when EASSS and EUMAS overlap. Team members will further be invited to co-author and publish (via arxiv.org) a paper based on their working group result.

EASSS is collocated with the 22nd European Conference on Multi-Agent Systems (EUMAS 2025).

A Special Joint-Registration Offer will be available for EASSS attendees who also wish to attend EUMAS.

The Venue

EASSS 2025 is scheduled to be held in Bucharest, Romania’s largest city and the capital. Known for its wide, tree-lined boulevards, glorious Belle Epoque buildings, and a reputation for the high life (which in the 1900s earned its nickname of “Little Paris”), Bucharest is today a bustling metropolis.

The venue of EASSS 2025 is the Faculty of Automatic Control and Computers, National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA of Bucharest, 313 Splaiul Independentei, Bucharest, Romania.

The Summer School site can be accessed by the following means of transportation:

1. By underground – The site is a 5 minutes walk from POLITEHNICA underground station (Line M3)
2. By trolley bus – Nos. 61, 62, 63 (UPB Stop)
3. By taxi - Uber and Bolt are widely used ride-sharing applications in Bucharest. A typical ride from the city center to the summer school site can cost between 15-30 LEI (3-6 EUR) depending on time of day and driver availability.
4. By own car – There are free and ample parking facilities in the immediate vicinity of the summer school site. The entrance to the UPB Campus is not free. The paid tax is 10 LEI (around 2 Euros).

Much of the local accommodation is available through Booking.com. Occasionally, you can find better deals on their own websites.
