The European Conference “Logics in Artificial Intelligence” (Journées Européennes sur la Logique en Intelligence Artificielle – JELIA) was established in France in 1988 and has since been held biennially in leading academic centers across Europe. Previous host countries include France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and others. Due to the high level of interest and competition, presentations at JELIA are selected through a rigorous peer-review process. Each year, more than one hundred experts from top universities and research institutes worldwide contribute to the program committee. Following months of review, the 2025 conference program features 47 high-quality papers showcasing the latest advances in logic-based Artificial Intelligence.
The mission of JELIA is to foster scientific exchange and collaboration by bringing together researchers from different disciplines, working on both theoretical foundations and practical applications of AI.
