EURO 2021
31th European Conference on Operational Research (EURO XXXI),
Athens, Greece, July 11-14, 2021
https://euro2021athens.com/
SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
In view of the current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic, EURO 2021 will be held as a hybrid conference with some sessions taking place on site in Athens, and some sessions that will be held online. All on-site sessions will follow strict health protocols to allow for safe participation and will also be available to remote participants as live streams. With this format, we hope that we can address both the security concerns and the wishes of many to participate in a physical conference, providing a conference experience that comes as close as possible to that of previous years. A preview of the online platform for virtual sessions will soon be available on the conference website.
At the same time, responding to many authors requests expressing difficulties in meeting the current deadlines and in order to give colleagues more time to submit their work under conditions of better information about pandemic developments, we are pleased to announce the extension of the abstract submission deadline until Sunday March 28, 2021.
CALL FOR PAPERS AND SESSIONS:
The Program Committee, chaired by Rudolf Vetschera, and the Organizing Committee, co-chaired by Nikolaos Matsatsinis and John Psarras, are preparing a high-quality scientific program and an exciting social program for the Conference.
Invited and contributed papers will be organized in parallel sessions. In general, sessions will be a part of the Conference streams, and streams are grouped in different areas. The list of areas is available on the conference webpage, streams are listed in the registration system (https://euro2021athens.com/areas/).
Researchers who wish to contribute a paper within an invited session should contact the session organizers or by submitting the article to a specific session directly using the session code. Abstracts can also be submitted as contributed abstracts to an area without reference to a session. We plan for about 10-12 on-site parallel sessions, which should focus on topics of more general interest, the majority of sessions will be online.
Abstract submission system is available online, via the Conference web page (https://euro2021athens.com/). It is noted that the maximum number of participants who will be able to participate in person at the conference will be determined by the restrictions of the health protocols that will apply then. This number will be announced after the submission of articles and the declaration of the intention of the participants to participate.
Abstracts must be written in English and contain no more than 1,500 characters in plain text format (no formulas are allowed).
