  • Accomodation

    We encourage you to reserve your hotel asap, as for close dates there is no available room already. For the time interval of 5-9 September (Monday to Friday) there are still available rooms in hotels. To help your choice, for 5-9 September we contracted a contingent of 25 rooms in the 4* ART Hotel with breakfast at the price of 22 000, or 28 000 HUF (depending on whether single or double use, both per night).

The organization committee of the HUGO conference decided to held the meeting September 6th-8th, 2022 in a hybrid setting.

 

 

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.
