The Bench conference has hosted 16 successful versions as the BenchCouncil Symposium on Benchmarking, Measuring and Optimizing. This year, we have rebranded it as a cutting-edge conference on Evaluation Science and Engineering, fully aligned with the mission of the International Open Benchmark Council (BenchCouncil). Evaluation is an essential human activity universally present. The discipline of Evaluation Science and Engineering (Evaluatology), pioneered by BenchCouncil, aims to develop comprehensive, rigorous, and scientific evaluation methodologies - transcending ad-hoc or empirical approaches.
Bench 2025 upholds this mission. It is an interdisciplinary international symposium seeking contributions from various domains including computer science, AI, medicine, education, finance, psychology, business, and more. We particularly welcome state-of-the-practice work, crucial for bridging research and real-world impact.
