Conference scope

The VOCAL conference focuses on recent advances on optimization algorithms: continuous and discrete; complexity and convergence properties, high performance optimization software and novel applications are reviewed as well. We aim to bring together researchers from both the theoretical and applied communities in the framework of a medium-scale event.

4*50 years of influential research in optimization

The conference will be the occasion to celebrate an important event for some eminent professor. In 2026 Tibor Csendes, Goran Lesaja, Yurii Nesterov and Zsolt Pálés will turn 70, each of them having devoted almost 50 years to research in optimization. In order to celebrate their scientific activities and influence, the conference will host special streams focusing on the topics of their research. Each guest of honor will present a major talk in the stream. Everyone is welcome to contribute by contacting the stream organisers.

A special issue of the Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications will be published following the conference.
