Introduction

About HORIZONS 2026

HORIZONS 2026: Optimization for Sustainability will take place from 01 – 03 July, 2026, at the beautiful campus of VinUniversity in Hanoi, Vietnam.

HORIZONS 2026: Optimization for Sustainability is an international conference showcasing state-of-the-art optimization and learning theory application into practical, reliable tools for sustainable systems. By bringing together leading researchers, industry experts, and innovators, the event (i) present and synthesize recent advances in optimization and machine learning relevant to sustainability, (ii) identify concrete, high-impact research directions at the interface of learning, optimization, and decision-making, and (iii) build collaborations across academia and applied stakeholders to accelerate deployment in real-world sustainable development contexts.

Journals

Top conference papers will be selected and invited for submission to a prestigious international journal in Optimization as part of a special issue. All submissions are subject to the journal’s standard peer review process.

NUMERICAL ALGEBRA, CONTROL AND OPTIMIZATION (NACO): Numerical Algebra, Control and Optimization (NACO) is a publication of the American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), a member of COPE, and is sponsored by Nanjing Normal University and Tianjin University of Finance and Economics. NACO aims at publishing original papers on any non-trivial interplay between control and optimization, and numerical techniques for their underlying linear and nonlinear algebraic systems. Selected conference papers will be recommended for development into full journal articles in the NACO.
