Optimization 2017, Lisbon, Portugal, September 6-8, 2017

http://optimization2017.fc.ul.pt/

The main purpose of the conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners from different areas and backgrounds, but with common interests in optimization.
This meeting has international recognition as an important forum of discussion and exchange of ideas.  It is the 9th edition of a series of international conferences in optimization organized in Portugal under the auspices of APDIO (the Portuguese Operations Research Society).
I would like to see (at least) one Location session in the program of the conference. So, in case you consider attending this meeting, please, contact me directly (fsgama@fc.ul.pt) so that I organize the session. My idea would be to attract to this conference some locators from abroad.
I look forward to hearing from you and possibly to meeting you in September in Lisbon.
All the best,
Francisco Saldanha Da Gama
