2nd ABCD Workshop on Algorithms and Mathematical Optimization: New Trends
on Monday, July 14, 2025
at the University of Cologne
The aim of the afternoon is to bring together researchers at all levels - from professors to PhD students - from the Aachen-Bonn-Cologne-Dortmund area (and beyond!) who are working on algorithms and mathematical optimization. The goal is to exchange ideas and challenges, and to initiate possible future collaborations.
Participation is free of charge but please register in advance (before Sunday, June 29, 2025) by sending an email to Annette Koenen (akoenen@uni-koeln.de).
