3-4 Dec 2019 At The French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), 3 Rue Michel Ange, 75016 Paris (France)

Michel Balinski studied in the United States with graduate degrees from MIT (MSc) and Princeton (PhD). He held professorial positions in mathematics, economics and administrative sciences at Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania, the Graduate School of the City University of New York, Yale and Stony Brook University. After he moved to France in 1980, he was appointed Research Director "de class exceptionnel" of the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique at the Ecole Polytechnique. He was Director of the Laboratoire d'Econométrie there until his retirement in 1999.

Michel was the founder and first editor of the influential journal Mathematical Programming and, having been one of the founders of the Mathematical Optimization Society also served as its president. His research was internationally recognized and earned numerous awards, including the prestigious John von Neumann Theory Prize in 2013.
