AGGREEY logo The Workshop on Argumentation and Online Debates is part of the activities and the final meeting of the AGGREEY project, which focuses on truth-tracking and evaluation in online argumentation. The aim is to explore the foundations and frontiers of computational models of argument, with a particular emphasis on how they apply to real-world debate platforms and collective decision-making.

This event is a multidisciplinary forum, bringing together researchers in computer science, artificial intelligence, psychology, law, ethics, and communication studies to discuss the challenges and opportunities posed by online argumentative discourse. In addition to talks by invited speakers, the workshop will include contributed presentations by project members and other researchers from France and abroad, as well as panel discussions.
This project was funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR grant ANR-22-CE23-0005). The organisation of the workshop is supported by the French Association for Artificial Intelligence (AFIA) and the CNRS/LabEx CIMI. AFIA logo

Reaching Toulouse

Toulouse is easily reachable by flight (Aéroport Toulouse Blagnac), with direct flights from e.g. Algiers, Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfort, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Marrakech, Milan, Munich, Roma, Tunis, and more, or from anywhere via connections in Paris Orly or CDG.
It can also be reached by train, arriving at Gare Toulouse Matabiau e.g. in 4h30 from Paris (Gare Montparnasse, with a connection in Bordeaux), in 4h from Marseille, or in 4h from Barcelona (with a connection in Narbonne).

Reaching the workshop

The Manufacture des Tabacs can be easily reached from the city center (for instance, 15 minutes walk from Place du Capitole, the main square in Toulouse), which means it is at walking distance from many hotels and restaurants.
If you choose an hotel further from the city center, you can take the bus or the metro to reach it. The station Compans-Caffarelli is within 15 minutes walking from the Manufacture. This is also the place where you may leave the bus from the airport.
