FRICO 2026 - Save the Date

Dear colleagues,

(apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message)

We hope that this email finds you well.

We would like to announce that the 29th edition of the annual workshop
Future Research in Combinatorial Optimization (FRICO) will take place from
August 10th to August 14th, 2026 at the Technical University of Berlin,
Germany. More information about FRICO 2026 can be found on our website:

https://www3.math.tu-berlin.de/combi/frico26/

FRICO aims to network doctoral students from research areas in and
adjacent to combinatorial optimization, including:

* Discrete Mathematics and Combinatorics
* Approximation Algorithms
* (Mixed Integer) Linear and Non-Linear Optimization
* Applications of Combinatorial Optimization
* Scheduling
* Randomized Algorithms
* Online Optimization

Each participant will be assigned a slot for a 20-minute presentation or a
5-minute elevator pitch talk. It is especially encouraged to present
ongoing research and open problems.

Thanks to our sponsors, FRICO does not have a conference fee. Moreover,
our sponsors will provide insights into applied optimization and career
prospects during the workshop.

The registrations will open on 1 May 2026. We would really appreciate it
if you could forward this message to doctoral students who might benefit
from this offer.

We hope to see you at FRICO 2026!

Best regards,

Srinwanti Debgupta, Ekin Ergen, Sara Joosten, Lizaveta Manzhulina, Paul
Lippke
