[DMANET] Discrete Optimization Talks (DOTs): schedule Spring 2026

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 season of Discrete Optimization Talks (DOTs).
DOTs are virtual discrete optimization talks, organized by Margarita Castro (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile), Silvia Di Gregorio (Université Sorbonne Paris Nord) and Aleksandr M. Kazachkov (University of Florida). The format is two 30-minute talks.
In the coming semester, DOTs will be held on the last Friday of the month at 12:00pm Eastern Time over Zoom.

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.

To attend, please subscribe via https://mixedinteger.hosted.phplist.com/lists/?p=subscribe. We will send the link to join by the morning of the seminar.
Details for this season of DOTs can be found on our website: https://talks.discreteopt.com <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 discrete.opt.talks@gmail.com <mailto:discrete.opt.talks@gmail.com>.
