We will be introducing our Centre members, industry partners and our bold strategic plan for the future of the Centre. A poster session hosted by the PhD students will highlight their work on our partners' complex industrial optimisation problems.About OPTIMA (http://optima.org.au)OPTIMA’s mission is to deliver industrial transformation via increased uptake of trusted and sophisticated optimisation technologies. We address industry’s urgent need for decision-making tools for global competitiveness: reducing lead times and financial and environmental costs while improving efficiency, quality, and agility. We are also training a new generation of industry practitioners and over 120 young researchers, producing a highly skilled workforce of change agents for industrial transformation.OPTIMA is led by Professor Kate Smith-Miles, Centre Director at the University of Melbourne, and Professor Peter Stuckey, Deputy Director at Monash University. We work across two nodes with 12 chief investigators based at the University of Melbourne and six at Monash University, supporting a team of over 100 researchers associated with OPTIMA. The expertise within OPTIMA spans the disciplines of operations research, computer science, statistics and probability, economics, and engineering. Integration of the optimisation approaches developed by each of these contributing disciplines is a core focus of the Centre. These interdisciplinary integration efforts are producing powerful new optimisation methods and demonstrating their value in various application domains in industrial contexts.The ARC has provided funding to OPTIMA of $4.86m for five years. OPTIMA is also funded by our ten industry partners, with a range of optimisation needs spanning the advanced manufacturing, energy resources, and critical infrastructure sectors. The ARC CEO, the Minister for Education, representatives from the faculties at both nodes, industry representatives, and OPTIMA members have been invited to attend the event.
