IFORS is pleased to announce that the long-standing IFORS Prize for OR in Development will be awarded again during its 24th triennial conference to be held in Vienna, Austria, on 12-17 July 2026. The competition aims at promoting the practice of OR for development in developing economy countries and economies in transitions. Past winners and finalists include works that have improved health, wellness, education, public investments and other issues in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
