COMMA 2026

11th International Conference on Computational Models of Argument

Venue

The different events of the conference will be held in two different venues. Both venues are located in the Ciutat Vella neighbourhood of Barcelona and are just a short walk from each other.

Specifically, they sit in El Raval, one of Barcelona's oldest and most characterful districts, on the western side of La Rambla. Part of the city's medieval old town, Raval is one of Barcelona's most diverse neighbourhoods, with a long history of immigration that has shaped its cosmopolitan character. The mix of cultures is reflected in its streets, food, and everyday life, giving the area a lively atmosphere.
