FGV researcher joins international advisory committee on stochastic programming

Professor Bernardo da Costa of the Escola de Matemática Aplicada at FGV (FGV EMAp) has been appointed as a member of the Committee on Stochastic Programming (COSP), the governing board of the Stochastic Programming Society (SPS), a technical section of the Mathematical Optimization Society (MOS) dedicated to advancing scientific research in decision-making under uncertainty. 

The COSP comprises nine international members, eight of whom are elected at each edition of the International Conference on Stochastic Programming (ICSP), the principal global event in the field, while one is designated by the organizers of the next conference. Professor Bernardo's appointment represents a significant recognition of Brazilian research contributions within the international stochastic modeling and optimization landscape. 

The SPS promotes conferences, seminars, and collaborative efforts between academia and industry, driving the development of models, algorithms, and theories that support strategic decisions in uncertain contexts.
