    Rapidly improving socio-economic conditions in the Global South is one of the most critical global sustainable development challenges. Operational Research (OR) methods can play a critical role for increasing the resource efficiency of the limited available inputs, improving the social, economic and environmental impact of operations and identifying low-carbon growth trajectories.


    We invite you to the Stream "OR in Developing Countries" at the OR 2022 -  the annual international conference of the German Operations Research Society (GOR) in Karlsruhe, Germany, September 6-9, 2022  (https://www.or2022.de).   


    Here we welcome contributions related to all OR-related or -supported aspects of sustainable development in a Global South context. Aside from learning about and from each other's work, a key objective of the Stream will be to identify common challenges and opportunities of using OR methods in Global South contexts and driving impact. 


    If you intend to participate, please upload an abstract of maximum 1800 characters, including spaces, to the EURO conference submission platform (https://www.euro-online.org/conf/gor2022/) using the corresponding Session Code:
