The 2nd edition of the Winter School on Network Optimization (http://NetOpt2011.fc.ul.pt) is organized by the Centro de Investigação Operacional (CIO) (http://cio.fc.ul.pt) University of Lisbon, and will take place at Hotel Sana, Estoril, from the 17th to the 21st of January, 2009. The Winter School is one of the major activities of the European Network Optimization Group (http://www.euro-online.org/enog/) and it intends to provide an opportunity for PhD students to get together and - Masquer le texte des messages précédents - attend high level courses in the field of Network Optimization. The event is also endorsed by APDIO (the Portuguese OR society). Non-PhD students are welcome to attend the school, but the number of participants is limited and priority will be given to PhD students. The first edition of the Winter School on Network Optimization, NetOpt2009, was a success and brought participants from 13 different countries.
