<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The goal of this special issue is to present advanced research in global multiobjective optimization.at the intersection of global and multiobjective optimization. We invite unpublished high quality papers which address
challenges of global optimization involving 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 involving 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 involving multiple objectives in line with the scope of the
