BHACO
About the Initiative
The Bremen-Hamburg initiative was started in 2018 by Petra Berenbrink from University of Hamburg and Nicole Megow from University of Bremen. The intent of the initiative is to bring together researchers from north-western Germany in the field of algorithms, combinatorics, and optimization, and to provide an accessible platform to discuss new developments and interesting open problems in their fields.
Bremen-Hamburg Colloquium on ACO on December 2, 2024
This one-day colloquium on topics around algorithms, combinatorics and optimization is organized by Nicole Megow, Daniel Schmand, and Sebastian Siebertz.
Non-academic organization
The workshop will start on Monday, December 2nd, at 10 am at the University of Bremen in room MZH 5500 (Bibliothekstrasse 5 28359 Bremen).
We will provide coffee and tea starting at 10:00am. The official part begins at 10:30am and ends around 5:30pm. For lunch there will be a soup, bread, tapas, and beverages. At 5:30 pm we go to the Italian Restaurant "Bellini im TRESOR" close to the University, Universit?tsallee 14, 28359 Bremen, and is at your own expense.
