Continual RL @ RLC 2026

Continual Reinforcement Learning Workshop at RLC 2026

Aug 15 2026Montreal, Quebec, CanadaOfficial workshop site Site reachable

The Continual RL @ RLC 2026 workshop focuses on continual reinforcement learning, bringing together researchers to present and discuss novel methods, benchmarks, and applications that enable agents to learn continuously over time without forgetting. It is affiliated with the Reinforcement Learning Conference (RLC) 2026 and aims to advance the state-of-the-art in lifelong learning for RL systems.
