The next joint European Conference on Stochastic Optimization (ECSO) and Computational Management Science (CMS)<\/b> will take place on 20-23 June 2027, organised by the Department of Management Science<\/a>, Lancaster University, UK.<\/span><\/p>

This conference focuses on recent advances across a broad range of topics in optimisation and decision-making under uncertainty.\u00a0The event welcomes both researchers and practitioners applying methodologies such as stochastic programming, robust and distributionally robust optimisation, stochastic dynamic programming, stochastic modelling, simulation optimisation, combinatorial optimisation, exact and heuristic approaches, and interface with machine learning. Applications spanning domains including transportation, finance, energy, healthcare, hospitality, marketing, operations management, and defence will showcase the cutting edge of computational methods in management science.<\/span><\/p>

The event will feature invited plenary talks, tutorials, as well as invited and contributed sessions. We warmly welcome participants from around the world to join us for this exciting conference.<\/span><\/p>

The submission for abstracts and best student paper competition will open in the fall of 2026. Stay tuned.<\/span><\/p>

We will offer a limited number of financial grants to support attendance of PhD Students, Early Career Researchers, and Delegates with Caring Responsibilities. For more information and how to apply, please visit Travel and Attendance Grants<\/a> page.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
