Dear colleagues,
We are excited to announce that the 2026 Early-Career Sustainable Operations Workshop will be held from February 27 (Friday) to March 1 (Sunday), 2026, at the Naveen Jindal School of Management of the University of Texas at Dallas (800 W. Campbell Rd, Richardson, TX 75080).
The program will follow a format similar to the past years, with a dinner reception to be held Friday night (2/27), followed by a full day of presentations and panels Saturday (2/28), and then a half-day of presentations on Sunday (3/1).
We have received a record number of high-quality submissions and are currently working on finalizing the program. It promises to be an outstanding event! We warmly invite you to attend the workshop: Ph.D. students may register at no cost, while the registration fee for all other participants is $100 through February 17 and $150 thereafter. For registration details and additional information, please visit the workshop website.: http://om.utdall2026 Early-Career Sustainable Operations Workshopas.edu/SustainableOperations2026.
Although paper submissions are now closed, we are still seeking senior academics (tenured faculty) to serve as discussants for the accepted papers. Discussants will receive a full-length paper by February 5, 2026 and will be asked to prepare a brief presentation focused on providing constructive and insightful feedback to the authors. If you are interested in taking on this important role, please contact us at SustainableOM2026@gmail.com by January 31, 2026.
This workshop is generously supported by the Naveen Jindal School of Management of the University of Texas at Dallas and by the Anderson Center at Georgia Tech. The program committee includes Dorothee Honhon and Shouqiang Wang from UTD and David Drake and Gloria Urrea from the University of Colorado. We are also grateful for guidance from the steering committee, which includes Priyank Arora (USC), David Drake (UC Boulder), and Beril Toktay (Georgia Tech).
For more information or questions, please email Dorothee Honhon at dorothee.honhon@utdallas.edu and/or Shouqiang Wang at Shouqiang.Wang@utdallas.edu.
We look forward to welcoming you all in Dallas!
