    Dear Colleagues, 

    The Harvey J. Greenberg Research Award is an annual award that recognizes outstanding contributions at the intersection of computer science and operations research, with a special focus on emerging application fields. The award is named in memory of Harvey Greenberg, whose pioneering work and lifelong dedication profoundly shaped both fields, and in particular, reflects early work on AI in Operations Research. His legacy continues to inspire innovative research that bridges operations research and computer science.

    Honored research will focus on contributions that exhibit the promise of making a significant impact in the scope of OR/MS/Analytics practice.
