Global Optimization, the field including theory, methods and applications of optimization techniques aimed at detecting a global optimum for difficult mathematical programming problems in which many local optima might exist, is a rich area of research.

The subject generates many papers published in qualified scientific journals and books; a journal and a series of monographs explicitly dedicated to the field exist now for more than a decade.

The workshop aims at bringing together researchers from various fields that are dealing with this topic. The workshop is organised mostly in single stream sessions, in order to give all participants the opportunity to enjoy each of the presentations. Accordingly, only a limited number of contributions will be accepted.
