## Call for papers

The 18th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science (ITCS) conference will take place at The Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing at UC Berkeley, January 12-15, 2027. ITCS seeks to promote research with innovative conceptual, technical, or methodological agendas, whose message will advance and inspire the greater theory community. The program committee welcomes papers introducing a new concept, model or understanding; opening a new line of inquiry within traditional or interdisciplinary areas; introducing new mathematical techniques and methodologies, or new applications of known techniques; putting forth a bold, even if preliminary, vision or line of attack; or unearthing novel or surprising connections between different topics.
