BIOMA is a key conference specifically focusing on bioinspired optimisation methods and their applications. This international conference provides an opportunity to the global research community in bioinspired optimisation to discuss recent research results and develop new ideas and collaborations in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. This year, the conference will be held jointly with UQOP, an international conference on Uncertainty Quantification and Optimisation organised by the H2020 UTOPIAE network.
