Leadership within the Scientific Community

• S. Gaubert coordinates the Gaspard Monge Programme for Optimization and Operations Research (PGMO), a corporate sponsorship of EDF operated by Fondation Mathématique Jacques Hadamard at Paris-Saclay. The goal of the program is to help to develop the research community in these fields, connecting academic and industrial researchers. It includes a research initiative on energy, led by S. Charousset from EDF (IROE, funding focused projects on the optimization of energy), and a subprogram dedicated to basic research (PRMO, funding smaller size projects). Projects are selected after an open call, instructed by the scientific commitee of PGMO. The program organizes advanced invited lectures for PhD students and researchers (in 2016, lectures by Yuri Nesterov from Louvain and Jean-Bernard Lasserre from LAAS), a regular seminar, and an annual conference (PGMO days, 250 participants in 2016). The program is currently being renewed, with an opening to new industrial partners interested by optimization. See https://www.fondation-hadamard.fr/PGMO for more information on PGMO.
