The conference on Learning, Evolution and Games (LEG2021) takes place on September 1 and 2, 2021 and will bring together researchers who are interested in the evolutionary foundations of economic and social behavior, evolutionary game theory, and learning in games.
LEG2021 is organized in virtual sessions with papers that fit well together, where meaningful dialogue and exchange of ideas can take place.
