Winter school 2015 in stochastic programming with applications in energy and natural
resources
In March 2015 about 100 participants gathered in Kvitfjell,
Norway to participate in the 4th PhD winter school arranged
by CenSES. This years focus was on modelling energy
systems and markets. Of the 100 participants, 80 were PhD
students coming from all over Europe, South-America, USA,
Oceania and Asia. CenSES and the Norwegian research
school in business economics and administration (NFB)
sponsored the school.
The lecturers were: Mette Bjørndal (NHH), Endre Bjørndal

Lisser (Université Paris Sud), Paolo Piciella (University of
Bergamo), Anthony Papavasilou (Université Catholique de
Lovain), Georg Pflug (University of Vienna), Andy Philpott
(University of Auckland), Alois Pichler (NTNU), Claudia
Ramteen fromOhio State University lectured on the topic of Stochastic
Dynamic Programming and Energy Storage at the 2015 Winter School.
There was in total 30 hours of lectures in the winter school.
Anthony Papavasilou from Université Catholique de Lovain, lectured on
