contents A tracking type optimal control problem for a nonlinear and nonlocal kinetic Fokker-Planck equation which arises as the mean field limit of an interacting particle systems that is subject to distance dependent random fluctuations is studied. As the equation of interest is only hypocoercive and the control operator is unbounded with respect to the canonical state space, classical variational solution techniques cannot be utilized directly. Instead, the concept of admissible control operators is employed. For the underlying nonlinearities, local Lipschitz estimates are derived and subsequently used within a fixed point argument to obtain local existence of solutions. Again, due to hypocoercivity, existence of optimal controls requires non standard techniques as (compensated) compactness arguments are not readily available.
