What is PICOF ?

The PICOF conference (Inverse Problems, Control, and Shape Optimization) is an international scientific event that brings together researchers working on the theoretical and numerical aspects of control, inverse problems, and shape optimization.
Its objective is to create a space for exchange between applied mathematicians, engineers, and specialists in optimization and modeling, in order to discuss recent advances and future challenges in these fields.

The PICOF 2025 program will include:

  • 7 plenary lectures delivered by international experts

  • 14 minisymposia, organized by specialized researchers

  • A poster session, providing an opportunity to present recent results

  • Discussions and collaborations focused on current challenges

The PICOF 2025 edition is organized by the Laboratory of Mathematical and Numerical Modeling in Engineering Sciences (LAMSIN) and will be held in person at Mahéri hotel, Hammamet, from 28-31 October 2025.
