STOGO 25 ,   XVI Workshop on Global Optimization

The 16th Global Optimization Workshop will be held in Stockholm with local organizers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

The workshop aims to gather the mathematical programming and operations research communities from different parts of the world to share experiences in the field of global optimization. We invite participation from all areas related to global optimization, including deterministic, bi-level, stochastic, continuous, discrete, and mixed-integer optimization, as well as applications, exact, and heuristic solution methods. 

Contributions are welcome from academia, industry, or the public sector. In addition to presentations, the meeting is intended to be a forum for the exchange of recent experiences and results. Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit an abstract formatted according to the given template. The submissions will be evaluated by a scientific committee.

STOGO follows the tradition of the workshop series with a similar setup to that of previous years.
