The BeNeRL is an informal one-day workshop bringing together reinforcement learning researchers from the Belgium-Netherlands region. The program includes several invited regional speakers and a poster session to foster participant interaction. We especially invite PhD students to contribute a poster since it will likely get them in touch with other researchers with similar interests. The workshop is free of charge and includes food throughout the day.
