Dear Colleagues,
The co-editors of INFORMS OR/MS Tomorrow (the INFORMS student newsletter) would like to invite your undergraduate students to participate in the OR/MS Tomorrow Undergrad Student Competition.
In a bid to promote research among undergraduate students in the field of Operations Research and Management Science, we invite them to submit a research article that talks about and/or addresses a significant problem/idea in their respective fields of research. Essentially, this is a means for providing students with a platform for sharing their research ideas to the INFORMS community via a special forum that provides visibility for their work.
