During the 2002 European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI‐02) was introduced the Starting Artificial Intelligence Researchers Symposium (STAIRS), the first‐ever international symposium specifically aimed at Ph.D. students in AI. The outcome was a thorough, high‐quality, and successful event, with all the features one usually finds in the best international conferences: large international committees, comprehensive coverage, published proceedings, renowned speakers and panelists, subsidized awards, and an exciting social program. Considering the numerous benefits gained by the young researchers through such a forum, no doubt STAIRS will become a regular and well‐established biennial event.
