EuroGP 2009 will take place in conjunction with EvoCOP 2009 (9th 
European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial 
Optimization), EvoBIO 2009 (7th European Conference on Evolutionary 
Computation, Machine Learning and Data Mining in Bioinformatics), and 
EvoWorkshops 2009 (the specialist workshops on a range of evolutionary 
computation topics and applications), forming a joint event collectively 
intituled EvoStar.
