1st Nocky Mountains Summer Retreat on Optimization
After weeks of online meetings during the Covid-19 crises, the MINOA researchers at AAU decided to go for a retreat on a remote place in the mountains to make up for the long time without discussions in person. Two local researchers, working on topics that also fit into the MINOA project, have been invited to this retreat.
Lively discussions took place and new ideas were born.
