Big ideas can make a real difference—and INFORMS wants to highlight them. The Doing Good with Good OR – Student Paper Competition is still open for submissions, offering students the chance to showcase how OR/MS can be used to address meaningful societal challenges.
This competition highlights work that goes beyond theory—projects where operations research and management science play a central role in improving outcomes for communities, organizations, or individuals. Projects may involve public, nonprofit, or private‑sector partners and can reflect applied research, implementation, or innovative methodologies.
If your project tackles a real problem and demonstrates how OR/MS can be a force for good, this is your opportunity to gain INFORMS recognition and showcase your work to a broader audience.
Submission Deadline: May 15, 2026 (11:59 PM Pacific Time)
