SPS Upcoming & Past Events

SPS - Upcoming Events

The Stochastic Programming Society (SPS) hosts and supports events that foster collaboration, share knowledge, and advance research within the community. Our SPS Seminar Series runs fortnightly outside holiday seasons, featuring research talks from leading experts, tutorials by well-established researchers, and presentations by young and upcoming researchers on the job market.


A highlight of the calendar is the Triennial International Conference on Stochastic Programming (ICSP), a flagship event with a proud history dating back to 1974, bringing together researchers and practitioners from around the globe.

 

Additionally, the SPS community actively participates in conferences, workshops, and tutorials worldwide, providing opportunities to connect, learn, and explore the latest developments in stochastic programming.
