Bremen-Hamburg Initiative on Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization

About the Initiative

The initiative aims to connect researchers from Bremen and Hamburg working in the fields of algorithms, combinatorics, and optimization, providing an inclusive platform for exchanging ideas, exploring new developments, and discussing interesting open problems in these fields. Co-founded in 2018 by Petra Berenbrink from University of Hamburg and Nicole Megow from University of Bremen, the initiative hosted several meetings involving the groups of Peter Kling, Matthias Mnich, Mathias Schacht, Daniel Schmand, Sebastian Siebertz, and Anusch Taraz took place in Hamburg and Bremen prior to the pandemic. In 2024, the initiative is being revitalized welcoming many new participants.
