EUROPT 2014
Joint event with IFORS 2014

Date: July 10-12, 2014
Venue: Perpignan, France (1h30 to/from Barcelona by train)

Second Call for Papers
We invite all researchers from the optimization
community to take part in the EUROPT2014, to be held
in Perpignan, France, July 10-12, 2014.
EUROPT2014 is the annual event of the "EUROPT group",
the Continuous Optimization Working Group of EURO
(The Association of European Operational Research
Societies). EUROPT2014 is the 12th Workshop on advances
in continuous optimization. EUROPT2014 is a joint event of
the EURO/IFORS 2014 conference to be held in Barcelona,
July 13-18, 2014.

The academic program will consist in plenary talks and
parallel sessions covering several aspects of continuous
optimization.
