The European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP) is the leading European forum for research on programming languages, type systems, program analysis, and the formal and practical foundations of software construction. Despite the name, ECOOP’s scope has broadened well beyond OOP to encompass functional languages, gradual typing, ownership types, effect systems, and language security. ECOOP 2026 is hosted at Vrije Universiteit Brussel in the Ixelles district, bringing together researchers from across Europe and beyond for five days of technical papers, workshops, and co-located events. The conference uses a two-round review model that gives authors the opportunity to receive and respond to reviewer feedback before a final decision, which tends to improve both the quality of accepted papers and the experience for authors. Brussels is a practical venue for European researchers, with direct Eurostar and Thalys connections from London, Paris, and Amsterdam all under two hours, and a dense network of Belgian rail connections to university cities across the country.
