The conference will be preceded by a meeting of the ROAR-NET COST Action: naco.liacs.nl/foga2025//ro...
We hope to see you in Leiden!

FOGA notifications are out. We hope that all submitting authors find the reviews useful, regardless of the final decision.
As always, feedback on the review process (which is under constant evolution to test different ideas) is welcome and can be addressed to the PC chairs and the organizing team.

Happy to announce that 56 papers have been submitted to FOGA 2025. We are now entering the reviewing phase
FOGA will happen from Aug. 27-29, preceded by a workshop for COST action ROAR-NET roar-net.eu on Aug 26
Looking forward to hosting the community in beautiful Leiden, NL
