     EUROPT 2014
     Joint event with IFORS 2014

     Date: July 10-12, 2014
     Venue: Perpignan, France (1h30 to/from Barcelona by train)

     Second Call for Papers
       We invite all researchers from the optimization
     community to take part in the EUROPT2014, to be held
     in Perpignan, France, July 10-12, 2014.
       EUROPT2014 is the annual event of the "EUROPT group",
     the Continuous Optimization Working Group of EURO
     (The Association of European Operational Research
     Societies). EUROPT2014 is the 12th Workshop on advances
     in continuous optimization. EUROPT2014 is a joint event of
     the EURO/IFORS 2014 conference     to be held in Barcelona,
     July 13-18, 2014.

      The academic program will consist in plenary talks and
     parallel sessions covering several aspects of continuous
     optimization.
