[Opt-Net] Workshop WOMBAT 2026 (Nov 2026)

[Lindon Roberts]

The 2026 Workshop on Optimisation, Metric Bounds, Approximation and Transversality (WOMBAT) will be held at the University of Melbourne from 25 to 27 November. This is an annual workshop organised by the Mathematics of Computation and Optimisation (MoCaO) special interest group of the Australian Mathematical Society.

The goal of WOMBAT is to bring together both Australian and international researchers who work on all areas of optimisation. We welcome contributions on any topic related to mathematical optimisation: theoretical, computational, or applied.

This year's keynote speakers are Rachael Tappenden (University of Canterbury) and Haihao Lu (MIT).

Registration is free and closes on 1 November. For more information, see the conference website: https://wombat.mocao.org/

Note: WOMBAT is running two weeks before NeurIPS 2026 in Sydney. Flights between Melbourne and Sydney are very frequent, and take only 90 minutes.
