Joint European Conference on Stochastic Optimization (ECSO) and Computational Management Science (CMS) 2027

The next joint European Conference on Stochastic Optimization (ECSO) and Computational Management Science (CMS) 2027 will be held at Lancaster University, UK, from 20–23 June 2027.
The conference will bring together researchers and practitioners working on optimisation, and decision-making under uncertainty. We welcome contributions covering a broad range of topics, including (but not limited to):
