- (Mixed Integer) Linear and Non-Linear Optimization
- Applications of Combinatorial Optimization
- Scheduling
- Randomized Algorithms
- Online Optimization
Every participant will be assigned a slot; either for a 20-minute presentation (excluding 5 minutes for setup and questions), or a 5-minute elevator pitch talk. It is especially encouraged to present ongoing research and open problems.
