Constraint programming at summer schools (Vienna July 6-10, Changchun Aug 24-28)

 Constraint programming is a powerful framework for solving NP-hard
combinatorial problems, combining high-level constraint modeling with
logical inference and search.

There are two summer schools this summer that teach constraint programming!

*European Summer School on AI* <https://essai2026.eu/>
July 6-10, Vienna, Austria (early registration May 15)
There are two separate constraint programming courses:

   - Modern Constraint Programming (Emir Demirović, TU Delft).
   - Introduction to Constraint Satisfaction (Roman Barták, Charles
   University).

Both courses are suitable for newcomers, and there are many other
AI-related courses.

*ACP Summer School* <https://school.a4cp.org/summer2026/>
August 24-28, Changchun, China (early registration July 7)
The entire school is dedicated to constraint programming with nine
speakers. The theme this year is on explanations, verification, and
applications.
