SIGOPT2022 International Conference on Optimization
March 15-17, 2022
Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg
------------------------------------------------------------
The Special Interest Group in Optimization (SIGOPT) was created in 1993 with the purpose of encouraging cooperation and communication between its members to enrich the scientific network of mathematical optimization. In this regard, a series of conferences has been established in order to conglomerate all the different aspects of mathematical optimization within one event of familiar atmosphere, and it is our pleasure to announce the 5th SIGOPT conference to be held during
March 15 - 17, 2022, in Cottbus, Germany.
The conference is scheduled to take place at the Zentralcampus of the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU). Participants are invited to arrive in Cottbus on Monday, March 14, to join the welcome reception at the Lindner Congress Hotel in the
evening. Further up-to-date information can be found at the conference website
Aims and Scopes
The SIGOPT conference covers theory and practice in all branches of mathematical optimization, e.g., Linear Optimization, Discrete and Combinatorial Optimization, Mixed-Integer Optimization, Nonlinear Optimization, Nonsmooth Optimization and Variational Analysis,
Multiobjective and Set-Valued Optimization, Optimal Control and Infinite-Dimensional Optimization, Machine Learning, or Application of Optimization in Real-World Problems. The SIGOPT promotes the collaboration of all the different branches of mathematical optimization, so
talks combining theory or methods from different topics are especially welcome. Young researchers are particularly encouraged to submit abstract proposals.
Plenary Speakers
We are pleased to announce the following invited speakers:
Ulf Lorenz (University of Siegen)
Ruth Misener (Imperial College London)
Ira Neitzel (University of Bonn)
Anita Schöbel (TU Kaiserslautern)
Gerhard Woeginger (RWTH Aachen)
Social Activities
We plan to organize a guided tour through the city of Cottbus famous for its clothiers and miners in the past and nowadays one of Germany's strongholds of structural change. Furthermore, we arranged a joint conference dinner in the popular restaurant Mangold in Cottbus which is settled within an ancient distillery.

Abstracts have to be submitted in LaTeX and should not exceed 1500 characters while being free of references.
We offer the possibility to organize invited sessions. Therefore, a suitable session title, a willing chairperson, and three to four abstracts respecting the above guidelines have to be provided.
Submission of abstracts is possible until January 16, 2022, via the conference website. Session proposals should be send directly to the organizers using the email: address sigopt2022@b-tu.de
