XVIIth ICSP

ICSP is the main conference on Stochastic Programming, organized by the Stochastic Programming Society — part of the Mathematical Optimization Society.


We gather experts in optimization under uncertainty, scholars and practitioners alike, to discuss cutting edge questions, state-of-the art methods and high impact application of stochastic programming.


TOPICS


  • Stochastic programming
  • Stochastic integer programming
  • (distributionally) Robust problems
  • Contextual stochastic programming
  • Chance constrained programming
  • Machine learning
  • Applications in energy, finance or logistics
  • Sequential decision making under uncertainty


KEY DATES


14 February 2025: Deadline for Mini-symposium and invited sessions submission
25 March 2025: Deadline student paper prize submission
15 28 April 2025: Deadline abstract submission
01 31 May 2025: Early Bird registration
26-27 July 2025: Tutorials

VENUE


The conference will be held at École des Ponts, IP Paris (Cité Descartes, 6 et 8 avenue Blaise Pascal, Champs-sur-Marne).


Created in 1747 under the name École Royale des Ponts et Chaussées, it is a higher education establishment that trains engineers to a high level of scientific, technical and general competency.


Apart from civil engineering and spatial planning, historically the source of its prestige, the School develops high-quality programs and research associated with the energy transition.
