MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE ACTIONS (MSCA) Innovative Training Network (ITN), TraDE-OPT offered 15 PhD positions within an innovative training program giving a solid mathematical background in (convex) optimization and data driven modeling combined with employability skills: management, fund rising, communication, and carrier planning skills. The training was based on three modules: learning by research, learning by courses, learning by doing. Embedded in the TraDE-OPT's training environment, each ESR  developed an individual research project comprising significant advances in designing efficient algorithmic solutions and a related industry backed project. 
  
The main scientific results of the TraDE-OPT are the derivation and analysis of efficient optimization algorithms for solving data-driven problems. These resulted in a number of applications to real world problems.
