From September 30 to October 2, the Research Training Group IntComSin held its annual meeting in Ellwangen. The program featured enriching talks on individual research results, along with a question-and-answer session focused on career development and life in academia. To add a fun, interactive element, participants also enjoyed an archery session as a social activity.
25-27 April, 2024, University of Regensburg
On the occasion of the 60th birthday of Georg Dolzmann we will enjoy interesting talks on calculus of variations, partial differential equations and their applications, meeting old and new friends, and enjoy some social programme around this one-and-half-day workshop and colloquium.

Empowering Women in Optimization: Highly Successful Conference at FAU
The conference "Women in Optimization 2024" at Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) was held from April 10 - 12th, 2024, as the fifth meeting in this series. About 70 female researchers from both industry and academia, doctoral candidates, and students in mathematical optimization attended the successful event. The conference's goal was both on professional development and networking within the optimization community. In expert presentations by distinguished invited speakers, the conference covered a wide range of topics in mathematical optimization. In addition to the presentations, the workshop provided ample space for scientific discussions and exchange of experiences. In an informal atmosphere, the attendants not only illuminated mathematical research topics, but also discussed questions about career planning and work-life balance. Students and junior researchers actively participated in poster sessions where they showed and discussed their research topics. The conference was sponsored by several institutions and research initiatives, namely the CRC/TRR 154, CRC 1411, Department of Data Science (FAU), GRK 2423 Frascal, GRK IntComSin, SPP 1962, and MATH+.
25-27 January, 2024, University of Regensburg
On the occasion of the 60th birthday of Luise Blank we will enjoy interesting talks on nonlinear optimisation and fast solution of discretised differential equations, meeting old and new friends, and enjoy some social programme around this one-day workshop and colloquium the day before.

In context to the junior scientist support of the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) Nadja Ray, a project leader within the GRK „IntComSin“, was among the first who received the head of junior research group status at FAU. The press release is available here.
The research training group IntComSin came together in Ellwangen for this years annual meeting in October. Interesting talks about individual research results as well as further discussions on how to proceed with open questions were a strong core of a successful convention. The question and answer-session, where the candidates anonymously questioned the supervisors on every topic of academic life and life with academia, was received favorably by either sides. A four hour lasting hiking trip with great view of the local landscape rounded the conference from a collaborative point of view.

From September 30th to October 2nd the research training group IntComSin met for the second annual meeting at the historic monastery Weltenburg. Beside the exchange on current research areas and presentations of new findings, a lecture about “Do’s and don’ts in scientific publications” took place. The social highlight was a canoe trip on the river Danube from Neustadt a.d. Donau back to the monastery. In addition, the team spirit was strengthened by the evenings in relaxed atmosphere.
