COLLABORATION
GERAD shares with the CRT a leading edge computer network. The two research centres organize alternately the Optimization Days, an annual event that enables hundred of researchers and students to exchange information on recent advances in optimization.
GERAD is also a member, jointly with CRM, CRT, CIRANO and CERCA, of the Network for Computing and Mathematical Modelling (ncm2), financed by NSERC. It is also a member of Bell University Laboratories (LUB).
Two GERAD teams are involved in Mathematics of Information Technology and Computer Science (MITACS), a pan-Canadian network of centres of excellence, also financed by NSERC.
GERAD's members continue close scientific collaborations with other Canadian research centres such as BNR, INRS (energy and communications), LRCAO, GRIP at UQAM, CETAI at HEC, CIM and SYTACOM at McGill.
Collaborative efforts have also been developed with various university centres in many countries, such as LOGILAB (Université de Genève), CORE (Louvain-la-Neuve), INRIA (École Normale, Paris, Versailles and Sophia-Antipolis), SMG (Brussels), LAMIH (Valenciennes), IMAG (Grenoble), ENSEEIHT (Toulouse), BNL (Upton NY), RUTCOR (Rutgers Univ. NJ), CWI (Amsterdam), O.R. Center M.I.T. (Boston), MIAG Université Claude Bernard (Lyon), École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Switzerland), Université Paris-Nord (France), Université La Sapienza (Roma), Scuola Normale Superiore (Pisa), Center of Game Theory (St-Petersburg University), Odense University (Denmark) and Polytechnic Institute (Belgrade).
Researchers from other Canadian, American and European universities have also taken part in GERAD's projects.
GERAD researchers represented Canada at the meetings of the Energy Technology Systems Analysis Project, involving 14 countries under the auspices of the International Energy Agency, regarding technological responses to reduction of polluting gas emissions.
Through their Academic Partner program, Dash Optimization is offering to the GERAD 10 free licenses of their Xpress-MP software.
