Dear colleagues,
we would like to invite you to the
Intercity Seminar of the Dutch Seminar on Optimization,
to be held on
May 23, 2024, at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
The Dutch Seminar on Optimization takes place once a month online, and this
is its first in-person event of 2024. It aims to bring together researchers
from the Netherlands and beyond, who are interested in optimization in a
broad sense. It has a focus on the theoretical foundations of discrete and
continuous optimization. This event provides an opportunity to foster
collaboration, present research and exchange ideas in an informal and
relaxed atmosphere.
Invited speakers are
Georgina Hall, INSEAD, Paris,
and
Alexandra Lassota, Eindhoven University of Technology.
Georgina Hall will give a talk about Polynomial Optimization Techniques for
Machine Learning and Supply Chain Management, and Alexandra Lassota will
talk about A convoluted situation: fine-grained algorithms and complexity
through the lens of min-plus convolution. You can find the full abstracts
on the website.
The website of the workshop is available at
https://vu.nl/en/events/2024/dutch-intercity-seminar-on-optimization. There
you will find all available information and a registration form to
participate. Registration is free and not necessary to participate, but
appreciated for catering purposes. There is also the possibility to
register a lightning talk and the possibility to join an optional dinner,
in which case we ask you to register at or before May 12.
We hope to see you in Amsterdam!
Tim Oosterwijk and Leen Stougie
