With the CP paper deadline now past, this quarterly report brings you updates about other tracks in the CP conference: a call for tutorials and doctoral program submissions, as well as the call for ACP Award nominations.
ACP.1 CP 2024 in Girona, Spain.
The 30th edition of the conference will take place from 2 to 6 September 2024 (mark your calendars...) in the lovely Girona in Catalonia, Spain.
Besides a main track, there will be 3 specialised tracks: Application track, CP and Machine Learning track, and CP and Quantum Computing track.
While the paper deadline and workshop proposal deadline has passed, the call for tutorials and doctoral program submissions is still open (see below).

ACP.2: Call for Tutorial Proposals at CP2024
The Tutorial Program is intended to disseminate information to conference attendees on recently emerging topics and trends, provide surveys of complementary techniques to those commonly studied at CP, and inform industrial practitioners on the state-of-the-art within the field. Tutorials will be given by experts in the subject matter.
We invite proposals for tutorials to be held at CP2024. Tutorials will be scheduled during the conference, which will take place from September 2 to 6, 2024. Tutorial proposals should be emailed to the tutorial chair Pierre Schaus.
The deadline for tutorial proposals is 01/07/2024

ACP.3: Call for Doctoral Program Submissions at CP2024
The Doctoral Program (DP) of the CP conference is seeking submissions from research students (new and past participants) conducting research in constraint programming and related areas. The DP aims to provide an informal environment for students to discuss ongoing work and to network with experienced researchers. The DP is a full-day event that includes short presentations of student papers, discussions with senior researchers, poster presentations, networking activities and a social dinner. Participation requires a paper submission to the DP, reviewing of other submissions at the DP and attendance in person.
In addition, there is financial support to cover conference registration, accommodation and dinner costs for a limited number of students. Financial support is granted on a case-by-case basis depending on the needs of the young researcher.
The doctoral program is a great way to connect with other PhD students in the field, in an informal atmosphere.
Submissions are open untill 20/06/2024
