The organization committee of the HUGO conference decided to held the meeting September 6th-8th, 2022 in a hybrid setting.
On Thursday afternoon the Tisza river bank will be closed due to the preparation for a military event on Friday in front of the main Museum. As far as we know right now, the closure will not affect directly our programs. The way from the conference site and from Art Hotel to the train station should be free for both Thursday and Friday.
For the social programs (dragon boat, football, informatics museum), we meet at 17:30 in front of the conference site, and walk to the activity place.
The Wednesday conference dinner will be in the Kiskőrössy restaurant just outside Szeged. We shall have a bus to take you there after the ship tour. Szeged is famous for its fish soup, which is hot, spicy, and substantial. Usually you eat ca. 2 plates of is. After it, a small portion of túrós csusza will be served, that is a traditional pastry with cottage cheese (salty) and some fried bacon pieces.
Before the supper a short folk dance show will be presented with live traditional music. Hungarian folk dance is a full body movement, and if you have access to it, then try to find a position in that room from where you see dancers fully, not only the upper body parts. The dancing lad, Pál Simoncsics is the big name in our region who won several related prices on folk dance festivals.

The three wines you can taste at the Tuesday wine-and-cheese party at the City Mayors Office:
1. Kreinbacher Juhfark 2021, white wine made from the old, traditional grape sort of juhfark (tail of sheep, named after the form of the grapes). This grape type have survived the philloxera disease, and has a delicate mineral taste. It is also called to be the wine of wedding night... It is produced on the vulcanic mountain of Somló.
2. Günzer Kékfrankos 2015. It is a nice red wine from the most famous Hungarian red wine terroir of Villány. The grape type, kékfrankos is again a Hungarian one, the name reflects that it produced expensive wines in old times, 100+ years ago. The wine excells in strong and fine tannin, the alcohol degree is 13%, a bit larger than average.
3. Oremus aszu 3 puttonyos. It is a sweet dessert wine produced along the unique aszu tradition. This wine is not really fitting the cheese served this evening, but once in Hungary, it is worth to taste as last wine. The wine producer Oremus is one of the most renowned one in Hungary. It comes from the Tokaj region, Tolcsva.
The conference site will be the Szeged branch of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences: Somogyi street 7. The COVID situation is improving, and right now we do not have any travel restriction for those coming to Hungary.
Map with the important sites:
This workshop organized by the University of Szeged offers a traditional forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss new issues, challenging problems, advanced solutions and new trends in global optimization. Since 1985, a tradition of Global Optimization Workshops exists that senior researchers and PhD students meet in a single-stream session environment to discuss approaches, algorithms and challenging applications in the field of global optimization.
You will also have the opportunity to visit Szeged, the sunniest city in Hungary that is famous for its vibrant atmosphere, spectacular festivals and last but not least for its internationally acclaimed university. The University of Szeged gave Albert Szent-Györgyi the Nobel -prize awarded scientist to the world, and nurtured Katalin Karikó the world renowned biochemist. We also take great pride in the fact that the University of Szeged has been the best Hungarian university for several years according to QS World University Rankings.
The two closest international airports are those of Budapest and Timisoara (in Romania). We offer some help for the airport transfer that will be described later.
