RLC 2027 will have two locations: one in Brown University, USA and one in Odense, Denmark. The location in Odense will be a joint event with EWRL. These location choices were made for several reasons. We recognize the on-going difficulties with both entering and leaving the USA for many researchers. Given that the first RLC was in the USA and the next two in Canada, we were interested in locating the conference outside of North America while also respecting difficulties for the many RL researchers unable to attend for the last two years. Through discussions with EWRL organizers, we saw the opportunity to have a joint event with EWRL in Europe. This joint event also avoids European researchers having to decide between going to RLC and then soon after to EWRL. Note that this is not a co-location; the event in Odense will be organized as one event.

We appreciate that there will be complexities with having two locations, and hope the community can work with us to make the overall RLC 2027 successful. This choice for 2027 is a one-time choice. We intend to find a single location outside of North America for 2028.

Additional details for the two locations will be provided soon. We provide a few key details here. Authors of accepted papers will be able to decide which location(s) they present at. Based on availability, the events will not be at the same time: RLC at Brown University will be in early August and RLC in Odense will be in late August. We do not anticipate the difference in time being an issue; given the timezones, the events would not have been coordinated and should run independently to focus on in-person interaction.
