You are cordially invited to participate in the upcoming workshop in Mixed Integer Programming (MIP 2013).

The workshop series consists of a single track of invited talks and a poster session.

Pietro Belotti, Clemson University
Greg Blekherman, Georgia Institute of Technology
Sergei Chubanov, University of Siegen
Daniel Dadush, New York University
Marco Di Summa, University of Padova

A poster session will be held the first evening of the workshop (July 22). All workshop participants are invited to submit a poster abstract. There will be an award for the best poster presented by a student or postdoctoral researcher. To submit an abstract, please email a two page PDF containing a detailed abstract of the poster to mip2013@discovery.wisc.edu by April 1, 2013. Space for posters may be limited, and the abstract will be used to decide which posters are accepted, so it is important that the abstract provide a good description of the research to be presented. We expect to send out notifications by May 1, 2013.

The workshop is designed to provide ample time for discussion and interaction between the participants, as one of its aims is to facilitate research collaboration. Thanks to the generous support by our sponsors, registration is free, and travel support is available for students and postdocs who present posters at the workshop. Students and postdocs who wish to apply for travel support must submit a poster abstract by the April 1 deadline to be considered for funding. We expect to make funding decisions by May 1, 2013.

See you in Madison!

Sincerely,

Amitabh Basu, University of California, Davis
Daniel Bienstock, Columbia University
Alberto Del Pia, ETH Zurich
