Topics and Program

The main goal of the conference is to bring together members of the international OR community to discuss scientific progresses in various subfields of OR in a truly interdisciplinary spirit. The highlights and core of the conference are the invited Keynote Speakers and the parallel semi-plenary lectures on various topics representing the state of the art in these fields. Certainly, the conference provides a platform to present current research and to compete for a publication in the referred proceedings.
We are very pleased that many local colleagues agreed to actively participate in this event, making it truly interdisciplinary in its scientific design.

Of particular interest will be the recognition given to young scientists, namely by the dissertations awards and the master theses awards. Furthermore, the social networking among professionals and scientists will be facilitated by different social events.
