    The school will focus on solving large scale combinatorial optimisation problems in practice. The school is intended for undergraduate students
    (3rd year or later), masters or early stage PhD students. Every
    undergraduate participant will be assigned an individual mentor.

    Topics covered include: introduction to constraint programming, modelling, integer programming, column generation, uncertainty, vehicle routing, scheduling, supply networks and research skills. Lecturers include
    Phil Kilby, Peter Stuckey, Olivia Smith, Guido Tack, Menkes van den Briel
    and Toby Walsh.

    Please encourage your PhD, Masters and late stage undergraduates to attend. Registration

    The registration page is open now and applicants will be considered in order
    of application so please apply as soon as possible. Undergraduates are free. Yes, a week by the beach paid for with fun and games! Postgraduates need pay just $250 which covers 5 nights accommodation, all food and drink, and the coach transfer from Sydney.
