Student Support for Mixed Integer Programming Workshop, Poster Session and Computational Competition, 2023 - 2025

混合整数规划（MIP）研讨会是一项年度活动，旨在鼓励研究生和初级研究人员参与整数规划和相关领域。该讲习班的主要目标是展示年轻的研究人员;提高有成就的学生在职业生涯早期阶段的知名度;并为研究生提供与世界顶级研究人员建立联系的机会。MIP学生海报会议为学生提供了一个机会，突出他们正在进行的工作，并与来自工业界和学术界的其他研究人员网络。在工作坊期间，学生海报也由工作坊委员会评审，并表彰优秀的海报。此外，研讨会还设有一个计算竞赛，让学生在一个具有挑战性的优化问题上测试他们的技能。该奖项为2023年至2025年期间举行的每三次研讨会提供10名学生海报展示者的旅行支持。该活动一直是学生专业发展的沃土，许多以前的参与者得到了NSF的支持，现在在美国各地担任教职。MIP研讨会每年在美国各地举行。 2023年MIP研讨会将于5月22日至25日在加州的洛杉矶举行。旅行支持的征求将发送到各种邮件列表，特别努力通过吸引来自工程学代表性不足群体的学生来扩大参与。通过为研究生提供旅行资金，NSF将有助于降低出勤成本，鼓励学生参与，并将支持STEM学生参与MIP领域的新兴研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) Workshop is an annual event with the goal of encouraging participation of graduate students and junior researchers in integer programming and related areas. The primary goals of the Workshop are to showcase young researchers; to increase the visibility for accomplished students at an early stage in their career; and to provide an opportunity for graduate students to network with the world's top researchers. MIP student poster sessions provide students with an opportunity to highlight their ongoing work and network with other researchers from industry and academia. During the workshop, student posters are also judged by a workshop committee and outstanding posters are recognized. In addition, the workshop features a computational competition that will allow students to test their skills on a challenging optimization problem. This award provides travel support for 10 student poster presenters for each three workshops held between 2023 and 2025. The event has been a fertile ground for students' professional development, with a number of previous participants supported by NSF now holding faculty positions across the US.The MIP Workshops are held annually at locations across the United States. The 2023 MIP Workshop will be held in Los Angeles, California, from May 22-25. The solicitation for travel support will be sent to a variety of mailing lists, with particular effort to broaden participation by attracting students from underrepresented groups in engineering. By providing travel funds for graduate students, NSF will help to decrease the cost of attendance to encourage participation of students and will support the engagement of STEM students in emerging research in the field of MIP.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
