The Latin American Workshop on Optimization and Control is organized on a biennial basis with the main goal of boosting the development and interaction between these two scientific disciplines in Latin America, by gathering together outstanding senior and junior researchers, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students working in these fields.
An additional goal of the workshop is to increase the visibility of Optimization and Control among advanced undergraduate students (in Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Economics, and others), as well as within the different companies and institutions of the society.
