Since 1999 game theorists worldwide are organised in the Game Theory Society, which holds a World Congress every four years to promote the investigation, teaching, and application of game theory. Furthermore, there are two other worldwide important conferences on game theory, which take place on annual basis: The Stony Brook International Conference on Game Theory in the United States of America and the European Meeting on Game Theory (SING), being the most important conference in Europe.

 

The history of the SING conferences dates back to 1983 with the first meetings held in Italy. Since 2001, when Spanish scholars got involved in the organisation, the conferences take place on regular annual base. The acronym SING was introduced in 2005 when scholars from the Netherlands joined. Today the conference series is called the "European Meeting on Game Theory" after in 2014 scholars from Poland got involved in the organisation of a SING meeting for the second time. However, it was decided to keep also the acronym SING. Hence, SING19 in 2024 is the 19th European Meeting on Game Theory since the acronym SING got introduced.
