******************************************************************************
The 20th European Agent Systems Summer School will be held at the department
of Data-Science and Knowledge Engineering of Maastricht University in the
Netherlands from June 18th till 22nd, 2018.
The EASSS-2018 will offer a rich program of both introductory and advanced
courses on a broad range of topics in the area of Autonomous Agents and
Multi-Agent Systems. The courses will be taught by leading researchers
in the field and are aimed at Masters and PhD students, but can be attended

EASSS is organised under the auspices of EURAMAS, the European Association
for Multi-Agent Systems.
Since 1999, the annual European Agent Systems Summer School (EASSS) has
provided a highly successful forum for knowledge exchange between researchers
in the field of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. The previous
editions of EASSS took place in Gdansk (2017), Catania (2016), Barcelona
(2015), Chania (2014), London (2013), Valencia (2012), Girona (2011),

About Maastricht
******************************************************************************
Maastricht is the oldest city in the Netherlands. Its oldest remains are more
than 2000 year old and pre-date the Roman settlement. The city has a beautiful
historic city centre with nice squares where you can eat and drink something.
There are different options for traveling to Maastricht. Maastricht has an
airport, named Maastricht-Aachen airport, with connection to a few places in
Europe. There is a bus going from the airport the train station of Maastricht.
Another possibility is Eindhoven airport, which has more connections to cities
in Europe. There is bus going from the airport to train station of Eindhoven.
There one can take the train to Maastricht, which takes one hour. It is also
possible to fly to Schiphol airport near Amsterdam, which is the main airport
in the Netherlands. The train from Schiphol to Maastricht takes two and a
half to three hours with a switch in Amsterdam central station or in Utrecht
central station. A last option by airplane is flying to Zaventem, the main
airport in Belgium near Brussels. The train from Zaventem to Maastricht
requires one and a half hours.
Maastricht has a train connection to the Netherlands and Belgium. When using
the German railways, it is recommended to take the train to Aachen and in
Aachen to take the bus to Maastricht. The bus requires less than one and a
half hours.
