Summer Schools organized
This page is dedicated to the international research summer schools promoted by our research group. The schools represent a structural commitment by the group to promote interdisciplinary and specialized activities, aimed at PhD candidates, researchers, and professionals. The covered topics range from the theoretical and applied foundations of optimization to its implications in high-complexity fields such as bioinformatics, integrating innovative approaches inspired by natural systems and metaheuristic methodologies for solving complex computational problems.
