The aim of IGComp is to promote research that features competition as an end or as a method.
For this purpose, the group organizes an internal (yet open to interested researchers) workshop where members or invited speakers present their works, both early ideas, early stage, or well-developed projects.
The format of the workshop is:
Two presentations per meeting: 60 mins in total for presentation.
Questions are asked during the talk
After each presentation (but within the 60 min), there is a final Q&A session
