Dear Colleagues,

Please, find below information about the International Summer School which will be organized at the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland in August 2017; http://www.jyu.fi/summerschool/. The application deadline is at the end of April. I'd like to draw your attention e.g. to the course Data-driven optimization via search heuristics given by Dr. Richard Allmendinger (University of Manchester, UK).

Please, forward this announcement to all students and supervisors who might be interested, thanks!

With best regards, Kaisa Miettinen
