    Call for Student Poster Submissions:
    We invite abstract submissions for the 2020 Mixed Integer Programming Workshop Student Poster Competition. The 2020 MIP Workshop will be held on May 15-18, 2019 and is hosted by the DIMACS center of Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey. 

    The student poster session will take place during the reception of the workshop. We invite students to submit an abstract of their poster at
    https://virginiatech.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8IZs72cIz7E9Epf

    The abstract format is: a PDF file, one letter-size page maximum, one-inch margins, 11-point font, single-space.

    Only students may submit poster abstracts. The program committee will select poster competition finalists, who as in years past will also be eligible for travel support funds (estimated at $500 per student). Submitting students not selected as competition finalists may still present their poster (space permitting), but only finalists are eligible for the competition and for travel support.

    The deadline for poster submissions is February 1, and the committee will
    communicate decisions to submitting students by March 1.

    The 2020 MIP Workshop feat. DANniversary, to be
    held May 18-21, 2020 at DIMACS, Rutgers University. The 2020 edition will
    be the seventeenth in the MIP series, and it will be opened by
    DANniversary, a special conference in celebration of Daniel Bienstock's
    60th birthday.

    MIP is a single-track workshop highlighting the latest trends in integer
    programming and discrete optimization, with invited speakers covering
    topics of interest to the community, including theory, computational issues
    and applications. As in previous years, the workshop will include a poster
    session reserved for students and an award for the best poster.
