[Opt-Net] International Conference on Bilevel Optimization, August 2023 (2nd announcement)

[Alain Zemkoho]

Dear Colleagues,

An International Conference on Bilevel Optimization will take place from the 8th to the 11th of August 2023 at the University of Southampton, UK (bilevelconference2023.org<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bilevelconference2023.org%2F&data=05%7C01%7CA.B.Zemkoho%40soton.ac.uk%7C4b06d3d58ea94dfe877308db07bc0faa%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C638112276530833149%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2BRf7CCu0hrYDXPUswh%2BtUseE1yXGmeYIkipF9fpJSI8%3D&reserved=0>).

The conference will be a forum to discuss recent advances in all aspects of bilevel optimization and connected areas such as mathematical programs with equilibrium or complementarity constraints, optimization problems under uncertainty, minmax optimization, semi-infinite optimization, Stackelberg games, and the more general hierarchical optimization problems.
​

CALL FOR STREAMS & ABSTRACTS
Abstracts are invited for talks and posters on any theoretical, numerical, or application topic related to bilevel optimization. We also welcome the organization of sessions/streams for the conference; for details on how to proceed with submissions for streams or sessions, see https://www.bilevelconference2023.org/call-for-abstracts<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bilevelconference2023.org%2Fcall-for-abstracts&data=05%7C01%7CA.B.Zemkoho%40soton.ac.uk%7C4b06d3d58ea94dfe877308db07bc0faa%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C638112276530833149%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=MbHpd15ljbJLDkWv1cKxtG5NhJMNnAUrewAc94pgN0E%3D&reserved=0>
