These contributions can include technical innovations, publications, leadership, teaching, mentoring, and service to the EC community. To celebrate these distinctions, Franz (as well as Anne Auger) kindly answered some questions reflecting on their contributions and views on evolutionary computation as well as their advice to young researchers in the field.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-big-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The full interview can be found in the newsletter of SIGEVO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-big-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/evolution.sigevo.org\/issues\/HTML\/sigevolution-17-4\/index.html\">https:\/\/evolution.sigevo.org\/issues\/HTML\/sigevolution-17-4\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/jgu-base-section>\n\n<jgu-base-singlefooter react-props=\"{\n    &quot;author&quot;: &quot;Kevin Kammler&quot;,\n    &quot;align&quot;: &quot;&quot;,\n    &quot;showAuthor&quot;: false,\n    &quot;showBox&quot;: false,\n    &quot;showTags&quot;: true\n}\" data-prop-tags=\"[]\">\n    \n<\/jgu-base-singlefooter>    <div style=\"display: none\">\n        \n    <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2995,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-english"],"primary_category":{"id":72,"name":"English","slug":"english","parent":0,"breadcrumb":"English"},"media":{},"image":{"url":false,"credit":false},"index":"11.12.2024","assigned_date":"","external_link":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wi.bwl.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wi.bwl.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wi.bwl.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wi.bwl.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2995"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wi.bwl.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20172"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/wi.bwl.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20172\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20557,"href":"https:\/\/wi.bwl.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20172\/revisions\/20557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wi.bwl.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wi.bwl.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wi.bwl.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
