Continuous optimization is a highly interconnected field, having close relationships to other areas of operations research, with scientific computing and numerical analysis, and with numerous application areas. In order to promote academic communication and cooperation between Chinese and European researchers and practioners in the field of continuous optimization, Operations Research Society of China (ORSC) and the Association of European Operational Research Societies (EURO) will organize the Joint ORSC/EURO International Conference 2015 on Continuous Optimization during May 10-12, 2015.
