And that's a wrap on #EuroMIP25! Three packed days of great talks and inspiring research.

Huge thanks to @sophie.huiberts.me , @matbesancon.bsky.social, the rest of the MIP committee and the local team for making this first edition a real success!
Is there a rule of thumb for how to split research content between a conference paper and its extended journal version, while respecting overlap limits and without it looking like holding back material?

Multiple AI systems won gold medals at the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). Exciting as that sounds,
@GregHBurnham
argues that it represents little progress: an unlucky draw of problems made the event relatively uninformative.

Is that cope? Judge for yourself. 🧵

Fabio Furini talks about Hidden Bilevel Structures in Graph Disconnection Problems, focusing on the capacitated vertex separator and the k-vertex cut. Both are reformulated as Stackelberg games: a leader deletes vertices and a follower optimizes over the disconnected graph.
