International Workshop on Algorithmic Optimization

International Workshop on Algorithmic Optimization, September 23 – 26, 2025

As the research training group Algorithmic Optimization (ALOP) at Trier University enters its ninth and final year, we are excited to host our last international workshop on algorithmic optimization. After seven successful international workshops and eight autumn schools, this event marks a special opportunity to bring together researchers from across the field and to offer perspectives on its future evolution.

The workshop will feature a dynamic program, including invited plenary talks, contributed talks, an engaging session with elevator pitches, and a lively poster session. Covering the full spectrum of algorithmic optimization, topics will range from mixed-integer programming to optimization with differential equations, from applications in the energy sector to advancements in machine learning and data science, as well as from foundational theory to cutting-edge algorithmic developments.
