<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The goal of this special issue is to present advanced research at the intersection of global and multiobjective optimization. We invite unpublished high quality papers which address challenges of global optimization with
multiple objectives. Many optimization problems (such as nonconvex, stochastic or combinatorial optimization problems) have both global and local optima. For solving such problems one needs to implement sophisticated global search strategies. In problems with
multiple objectives an additional challenge is posed by the fact that the notion of a solution to such problems is not unique.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We welcome papers with a significant amount of new scientific contribution in theory, methods and applications of global optimization with multiple objectives in line with the scope of the
<i>Journal of Global Optimization </i>– an international journal dealing with theoretical and computational aspects of seeking global optima and their applications in science, management and engineering.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
