Second Call for Papers to HUGO 2020 - XV. Global Optimization Workshop
<https://www.inf.u-szeged.hu/hugo/>

University of Szeged, Szeged, Hungary, 5-8 September 2022, hybrid setting

This workshop organized by the University of Szeged offers a traditional
forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss new issues, challenging
problems, advanced solutions and new trends in global optimization. Since
1985, a tradition of Global Optimization Workshops exists that senior
researchers and PhD students meet in a single-stream session environment to
discuss approaches, algorithms and challenging applications in the field of
global optimization.

You will also have the opportunity to visit Szeged, the sunniest city in
Hungary that is famous for its vibrant atmosphere, spectacular festivals
and last but not least for its internationally acclaimed university. The
University of Szeged gave Albert Szent-Györgyi the Nobel-prize awarded
scientist to the world, and nurtured Katalin Karikó the world renowned
biochemist. We also take great pride in the fact that the University of
Szeged has been the best Hungarian university for several years according
to QS World University Rankings.

The two closest international airports are those of Budapest and Timișoara
(in Romania). We offer some help for the airport transfer that will be
described later.

Plenary speakers:
Inmanuel Bomze, University of Vienna
Marco Locatelli, University of Parma
Ruth Misener, Imperial College London

Grant for young researchers: to renew the tradition to invite young
researchers to the Workshop on Global Optimization we are pleased to
announce that HUGO is offering a number of grants to support participation.
The support includes a waiver on the participation fee and a modest
accommodation in a student dormitory. To apply, send the following
documents as a single pdf by e-mail to hugo@inf.szte.hu: your extended
