    Dear all,

    We are pleased to announce the Fifth Grid Science Winter School and Conference by Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) that will be held at Santa Fe, USA from January 9-13, 2023. This biennial event brings together experts from physics, applied math, statistics, control theory, optimization theory, machine learning, computer science, and power systems engineering to address the theoretical and algorithmic needs of today's grid and the future grid.

    The Grid Science Winter School and Conference will span five days. The first three days are reserved for the school where graduate students and postdocs of academic and national laboratories will attend long form lectures on key topics that form the basis of grid science. This will be followed by a two-day conference where the school participants and additional attendees will be exposed to latest research on the design, control, and optimization of electrical grids through invited talks by researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry. Each junior attendee (student or post-doc) of the Winter School will be required to present a poster and a committee of judges will select several posters for presentation at the Conference. Sponsorship covering registration fee and hotel stay for the entire duration of the event are available for selected junior attendees, based on resume submission and poster abstract. Further details of the event will be updated at at: 2023 Grid Science Winter School and Conference.
