6th Workshop on Variational Analysis and Optimization, Mariánská
Workshop on Variational Analysis and Optimization is an annual workshop organized by members of the Czech Academy of Sciences. It is an informal meeting of people interested in various topics of optimization theory. It combines a mathematical program in the afternoon/evening with a free program in the morning/early afternoon, when one can enjoy the beautiful scenery, go hiking, skiing or just discuss mathematics. Because of its location on the Czech-German border, it is suited mainly for Czech and German researchers.
Useful information
- Date: Thursday 28nd February - Sunday 3rd March 2019 (the scientific programme will take place on Friday and Saturday afternoon).
