GPCO 2026 — The 9th German-Polish Conference on Optimization – Methods and Applications

The 9th German-Polish Conference on Optimization – Methods and Applications is an international scientific event that continues a long-standing tradition of collaboration between the Polish and German research communities. Although the conference primarily serves as a Polish-German initiative, the organizers warmly welcome participants from other European countries and beyond. The strong international interest in previous editions confirms the relevance and importance of the topics addressed. The thematic scope of the conference includes, among others, optimization in machine learning and the applications of fractional calculus in optimization problems. These subjects reflect both the rapid development of modern optimization methods and their growing impact on contemporary applied mathematics, data science, and engineering.

Topics: theory of smooth and non-smooth optimization, variational problems and variational inequalities, optimal control, inverse and ill-posed problems, combinatorial optimization, vector optimization, solution methods and applications of optimization, ordinary and partial differential equations: theory and applications, mathematical modelling involving fractional ODEs and PDEs, fractional dynamic systems and applications, fractional signals and systems, integral representations for fractional differential systems, multi-agent systems,
