    Associated with EURO 2016

    June 30 - July 1, 2016
    Poznan University of Technology,
    Lecture and Conference Centre -
    Piotrowo 2, Poznan, Poland

    Conference Objective:

    The EURO Working Group on OR for Development (EWG ORD) first established in
    2006 has continuously worked to promote and facilitate communication links
    among European and other regional researchers working in areas of
    operational research for development.

    This conference aims to bring together operations researchers who have used
    OR tools to address problems in education, health (e.g., spread of
    infectious diseases), basic public services, water, technology, resource use
    (physical or financial), infrastructure, agricultural, industrialization,
    environmental sustainability, energy, unabated population growth and climate
    change.


    Conference Format:

    Participants will present their papers and paper reviewers assigned in
    advance will give feedback. All participants will be given all the accepted
    papers in advance, which will give them time to study the papers. Ample time
    will be given for discussion of each of the papers presented.

    Cathal Brugha, Emeritus and Adjunct Professor at the University College
    Dublin Centre will lead workshops for Business Analytics, and
    Ashley Carreras of De Montfort University will lead two Workshops.

    Other speakers will also share their experiences in a variety of projects,
    which have impacted development. (For details, please click
