Variational Analysis and Optimisation Webinar
Many high quality online optimisation seminars have come to life recently. This is a positive by-product of the current unfortunate epidemiological situation. The series focuses on Variational Analysis and Mathematical Optimisation (as broadly defined), key research interests for many Australian mathematicians.
Since the organisers reside in Australia, our targeted time zones are different from those covered by the existing online optimisation seminars. In the second season of the series, talks will alternate between 11:00 and 17:00 in the local time for the Australian east coast (ie Sydney/Canberra/Melbourne time).
We stand with the under-privileged communities in science and education and all those striving against all forms of racism and discrimination.
Scheduled Talks (4th season)
The series will be taking a season break after December 1st, and will return for a third season in March 2022.
All talk times are listed in Sydney/Melbourne/Canberra time.
