IEOM Society International is organizing the 8th European Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management in La Defense-Paris, France during July 2-4, 2025. Host is IESEG School of Management and the venue is at IESEG's La Defense-Paris Campus.
There is a possibility to publish quality papers in two prestigious journals, including International Journal of Production Research (IJPR) and Journal of Engineering Design (JED). Both journals are Scopus-indexed and in Q1. High-quality full papers will be selected and sent to the Editor-in-Chief (EiC) of IJPR or JED. The EiCs will handle the extended and improved versions of the papers by following a special, fast procedure. We will publish the abstract, instead of full paper, in the conference proceedings for a quality paper sent to either IJPR or JED.
The conference will provide an opportunity for academics, researchers, and practitioners to exchange ideas and explore recent developments in the field of Industrial Engineering and Operations Management. The conference is also expected to foster networking, collaboration, and joint effort among the conference participants to advance the theory and practice as well as to identify major trends in Industrial Engineering and Operations Management.
