Open Call

Dear BOS members,

As the Conference Site Advisory Committee (CSAC) of the Bilevel Optimization Society (BOS), we are pleased to announce a first call of interest to host the first International Conference on Bilevel Optimization (ICBO) to be held in 2026.

This conference represents a continuation and merger of two previous initiatives: the International Workshop on Bilevel Programming (IWOBIP) and the ICBO, which was organized in Southampton to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Stephan Dempe. Typically, this conference has an attendance of between 50-100 researchers.

Interested candidates are invited to write to [email protected] with at most three paragraphs expressing their will to organize this event. Formal proposals will be invited following the expressions of interest.

The deadline for the expressions of interest will be until March 16th, 2025.

Best
