[DMANET] Discrete Optimization Talks (DOTs): schedule spring 2024

Discrete Optimization Talks (DOTs)

A virtual seminar series by the Mixed Integer Programming Society,
a section of the Mathematical Optimization Society

We invite you to join us for the next session of Discrete Optimization
Talks (DOTs) on Friday, January 26, 2024 at 12:00 p.m. ET, with Marleen
Balvert (Tilburg University) and Madeleine Udell (Stanford University).

To attend, please subscribe via http://subscribe.discretopt.com. We will
send the link to join by the morning of the seminar.


DOTs are virtual discrete optimization talks, organized by Silvia Di
Gregorio (Université Sorbonne Paris Nord), Aleksandr M. Kazachkov
(University of Florida) and Elias B. Khalil (University of Toronto). The
format is two 30-minute talks.


After a usual (in-person) seminar, you might grab a tea/coffee and chat
with other attendees. Why not here too? You are invited to stay on for some
informal discussion and socialization after the talks.


Details for this season of DOTs can be found on our website:
https://talks.discreteopt.com/. There, you may also subscribe to our
calendar or watch recordings of previous talks. You may also sign up to
give a future DOT.


If you have any questions, please reach out to us at talks@discreteopt.com.
