A global community of researchers working towards equity and access
EAAMO (Equity and Access in Algorithms, Mechanisms, and Optimization) is a community of over 3000 people coming from 130+ institutions in 50 countries, that bring together a range of expertise to tackle problems in marginalized groups around the world.

The ACM conference on Equity and Access in Algorithms, Mechanisms, and Optimization (EAAMO) aims to highlight work where techniques from algorithms, optimization, and mechanism design, along with insights from the social sciences and humanistic studies, can help improve equity and access to opportunity for historically disadvantaged and underserved communities. The conference will provide an international forum for presenting research papers, problem pitches, survey and position papers, new datasets, and software demonstrations towards the goal of bridging research and practice.

EAAMO Bridges is our year-round effort to connect research and practice. The core of Bridges is our working groups who meet regularly to work on a specific topic, such as algorithms in law, online labor markets, or civic participation—to name a few.
Visit the EAAMO Bridges website to find out about our current working groups and how to join.

During the second half of 2025, the EAAMO Bridges Working Groups brought together researchers and practitioners to engage with ongoing questions at the intersection of algorithms, markets, and society. Designed as spaces for work in progress rather than finalized results, the groups focused on discussion, experimentation, and shared learning.
A defining feature of the Bridges format was its collaborative ethos. Working groups functioned as intellectual laboratories, places to test early ideas, reflect on failures as well as successes, and learn from others working in adjacent domains.
