The Mixed-Integer Programming Workshop 2020

We seek support for the Mixed Integer Programming Workshop 2020(MIP 2020), which will be held at DIMACS, Rutgers University, New Jersey,from May 18{21, 2020.MIP is a premier workshop series that is held annually in North Americaand is designed to encourage participation of junior researchers in integerprogramming and related areas. This year marks the 17th edition of the MIPworkshop and will feature a special day celebrating the 60th anniversaryof Prof. Daniel Bienstock, founder of the series of MIP workshops. Thewhole event will consist of a single track of roughly 30 invited talks, withmore than half of the speakers being junior faculty and postdoctoral fellows.The layout of the 4 day workshop allows for ample time for participants,especially students, to collaborate and network.The MIP 2020 Workshop will also feature a poster session as a venuefor young researchers to showcase their work to their established colleaguesin the eld of integer programming. The poster session, held jointly witha reception, is traditionally well attended and serves as a springboard fornetworking. This year's poster session is reserved to master and Ph.D. stu-dents. Moreover, there will be a best poster award. Among the posters thatwill be presented at the workshop, the program committee will select 20-25nalists based on their appropriateness to the workshop, that will be eligiblefor the best poster award and for travel support.The program committee is requesting $6,000 from the ONR to help sup-port student travel to the MIP 2020 workshop. The requested funding wouldprovide travel funding for roughly 12 of the poster nalists, in the amountof up to $750 for each individual (and $500 on average).
