About the Conference
The Institute of Operations Research and Analytics (IORA), Department of Industrial Systems Engineering and Management (College of Design and Engineering), Department of Analytics and Operations (NUS Business School) of the National University of Singapore and the Operational Research Society of Singapore (ORSS) are proud to jointly host the Analytics for X 2026 conference in conjunction with the Next-Gen Scholars Symposium on 24-25 September 2026.
Analytics for X is an annual conference hosted by IORA that brings together researchers, educators, consultants, practitioners, and students to contribute to the Fourth Industrial Revolution conversation. As an annual event, the conference aims to promote the regular enhancement and dissemination of knowledge related to operations research and analytics, as well as efficient industrial practices.
During this year's event, we are excited to continue hosting the Next-Gen Scholar's Symposium. This symposium, exclusive to PhD students, aims to recognize outstanding scholars in Analytics, Operations Research (OR) and Operations Management (OM) who are nearing the completion of their PhD, typically within a year or two. It is dedicated to honoring and accelerating the paths of outstanding young scholars who find themselves at a pivotal stage in their academic journey. The symposium will feature the groundbreaking research of these emerging scholars, and will offer them a platform to engage with and learn from the Analytics & OR/OM community, as well as efficient industrial practices through networking opportunities.
For students based in Singapore, we are excited to announce the ORSS best student paper competition which seeks to recognise outstanding student research conducted in Singapore.
If you are an eligible PhD student, we welcome you to apply for the Next-Gen Scholar's Symposium. Otherwise, we encourage your participation in the Analytics for X 2026 by submitting an extended abstract.
