The program is being renewed and extended in 2017, as Orange and Thales are joining PGMO. The new PGMO covers Optimization, Operations Research and their interactions with data sciences.

A new kind of research program

The PGMO is a  new type of corporate patronage whose aim is to foster, liven up a mathematical community of researchers coming from academia and industry, working in the field of optimization and operation research from academic themes to industrial issues.  

This program will permit :

• to increase scientific exchanges between academic and industrial researchers (seminars, training, researchers invited positions…)
• to support teaching and research in optimization and operations research
• to promote job offers in private companies for students trained in optimization.

Themes of the program

• modelling,
• continuous optimization (convex and non-convex, non-smooth…),
• optimization of large systems (decomposition-coordination methods,…),
• combinatorial optimization and operations research, optimization with uncertainty (stochastic, robust, stochastic optimal control…),
• global optimization (relaxation, approximation,semi-algebraic programing, stochastic algorithms…),
• connected fields : artificial intelligence (learning…), statistical learning, risk management, uncertainties analysis…

The Research Initiative on « Optimization and Energy » (IROE) is dedicated to the topic of optimization for energy management.
