The Thirteenth International Conference on Fun with Algorithms (FUN 2026) will be held in Island of Porquerolles, France, in May 2026, at Hôtel Club Igesa Porquerolles.

FUN is a series of conferences dedicated to the use, design, and analysis of algorithms and data structures, focusing on results that are “fun” but also original and scientifically solid. “Fun” can be defined in many ways: we think of fun results as being amusing or entertaining by their display of elegance, simplicity, surprise, originality, or wit. The topics of interest include all aspects of algorithm design and analysis under any computing model. For more details please check the CFP.

Selected papers will be invited to a special issue of Theoretical Computer Science.

Invited speaker

• Bettina Speckman, TU Eindhoven
