===========================
INOC 2026, the International Network Optimization Conference, provides a
forum for researchers in the broad field of network optimization to
present and publish their latest results and ongoing research. INOC is
the conference of the European Network Optimization Group (ENOG), a
working group of EURO, the Association of European Operational Research
Societies. The aim of this conference is to provide conference of the
European Network Optimization Group (ENOG), a working group of EURO. The
conference has been held biennially since 2003, the latest in 2024 at
the University College Dublin (Dublin, Ireland).
INOC 2026 is the 12th conference of this group and will take place at
HEC Liège, the Management School of Liège University, Liège, Belgium,
April 22-24, 2026.

Submission Guidelines
---------------------
INOC accepts both short papers to be published in the proceedings and
extended abstracts to be published at the conference only:
- Short papers describing original work, not yet published or
submitted elsewhere. Short papers can be up to 6 pages (with two
columns) long.
- Extended abstracts describing recent results and ongoing research
can be up to 2 pages long.
All submissions must be formatted with the Latex templates provided and
submitted to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=inoc2026.
For short papers, please use the template and style files in
https://www.euro-online.org/inoc2026/cfp/INOC_short_paper_template.zip.
For extended abstracts, use the simple template in
https://www.euro-online.org/inoc2026/cfp/INOC-ext-abstract-template.zip.
Contributions will be peer-reviewed by the Programme Committee. The
proceedings will be published at OpenProceedings. After the conference,
extended papers can be submitted to a special issue of the journal
Networks.
