  • 1.  Call for site pre-proposals, ISMP 2030

    Posted 08-13-2025 12:41
    The Conference Committee of the Mathematical Optimization Society issues a call for pre-proposals to organize and host ISMP 2030, the 27th triennial International Symposium on Mathematical Programming.  According to tradition, we are particularly seeking a host outside of Europe for ISMP 2030
     
    ISMP is the flagship event of the society, regularly gathering over a thousand scientists from around the world.  The conference will be held in or around the month of August, 2030.  Hosting ISMP provides a vital service to the mathematical optimization community and often has a lasting effect on the visibility of the hosting institution.  It also presents a significant challenge.  This call for pre-proposals is addressed at local groups willing to take up that challenge.
     
    Preliminary bids will be examined by the Conference Committee, which will then issue invitations for detailed bids.  The final
    decision will be made and announced during ISMP 2027 in Amsterdam.
