The RuleML+RR 10th Doctoral Consortium 2026 (DC) is an initiative of the RuleML+RR community to attract and promote student research in Artificial Intelligence, especially research on rule-based formalisms and reasoning in such formalisms. It offers students a close contact with leading experts in the field, as well as the opportunity to present and discuss their ideas in a dynamic and friendly setting. We invite PhD students at an early or intermediate stage of their PhD studies, as well as exceptional master’s students who are interested in pursuing a PhD, to submit papers describing their research on any of the topics of RuleML+RR 2026<https://2026.declarativeai.net/ruleml-rr>.

The submission should cover the following aspects:


  *   The identification of a significant problem in a research field relevant to RuleML+RR 2026.
  *   An outline of the current knowledge in the problem’s domain, as well as an overview of existing solutions.
  *   A clear formulation of the research question and motivation.
  *   A presentation of (possibly preliminary) ideas, the proposed approach, and the results achieved so far.
  *   A sketch of the applied research methodology and its positioning in the field.
  *   A description of the student’s contribution to the research.
  *   A discussion of how the suggested solution is different, new, or better as compared to the state of the art.
  *   A research plan and the potential achievements.


The accepted DC papers will be presented to an interested audience and will be discussed with a panel of senior researchers from academia and the industry.
