ecai-topic-selection

Use before writing to decide whether a project belongs at ECAI versus IJCAI, AAAI, AAMAS, KR, or a pure-ML venue, and whether it should go to the ECAI main track or the co-located PAIS applications track — using contribution shape, the model-swap test, the European/general-AI fit, and the calendar (including the joint IJCAI-ECAI 2026 cycle).

# ECAI Topic Selection

Routing is the highest-leverage decision, made **before** writing. ECAI is EurAI's **general-AI**
flagship — broad by design, spanning symbolic reasoning, KR, planning, search, multi-agent systems,
ML, and applications. That breadth is a feature and a trap: many projects *could* go to ECAI, so the
real question is whether ECAI is the **best-matched** home for your contribution and calendar, and
whether it belongs in the **main track** or the co-located **PAIS** applications track.

## Is it ECAI-shaped?

ECAI wants a contribution a **general AI audience** recognizes as advancing how systems reason,
plan, learn, or decide — with evidence proportional to the claim (a proof, or a fair comparison).
