Sequential Decision Making

First Meeting of the Dutch Sequential Decision-Making Community

on Solution Approaches to Sequential Decision Making

We are delighted to invite you to the first meeting of the Dutch Sequential Decision-Making Community on Solution Approaches to Sequential Decision Making, organised by LNMB and hosted by the 4TU.AMI Strategic Research Initiative on Real-world Inspired Sequential Decision Making.

This three-day programme will explore diverse methodologies in sequential decision making, including Markov decision processes, reinforcement learning, stochastic optimal control, systems control, and agent-based modelling.

Participants will gain insights into both theoretical foundations and practical applications on sequential decision making through expert-led sessions and interactive discussions. The meeting is particularly interesting for PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career academics looking to expand their methodological toolkit and broaden their perspectives.
