A MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE ACTIONS (MSCA) Innovative Training Network (ITN)-ID 861137, TraDe-OPT offers 15 PhD positions (ESRs) 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 will be based on three modules: learning by research, learning by courses, learning by doing. Embedded in the TraDe-OPT's training environment, each ESR will be developing an individual research project comprising significant advances in designing efficient algorithmic solutions and a related industry backed project.

Our first workshop has ended successfully. Thanks to the local organizer at UCLouvain and all participants, who have made great contributions so that everyone has a wonderful week in Louvain La Neuve. This time, all of our ESRs have gained many interesting ideas for their PhD careers as well as preparation to go into job market after graduating. One week seems too short for everyone, but don't worry! The next workshop is already planned and will take place this winter. Stay tuned!!!

Our first workshop, dedicated to Algorithmic and Continuous Optimization, will take place between July 4 and July 8 2022 at UCLouvain!
The workshop will provide an opportunity for TraDE-OPT participants, including all PhD students, to meet in person for the first time.
