> terms of an
> agreement between EURO and IFORS, however, IFORS will sponsor travel
> costs of two

> delegates from developing countries (from which at least one of the two

> EURO will extend its usual sponsorship (to cover the costs of the
> scientific program,
> accommodation, meals, and social activities) to the two IFORS
> fellows.
> The ESIs and EWIs aim to encourage the establishment of a network of
> promising young
> researchers (with less than 10 years experience in OR) to encourage
> future collaborative work.
> Each ESWI seeks to involve 25 participants. The Institute features
> lectures by invited speakers,
> but for the most part, the participants themselves will present and
> discuss their papers. A special
> issue of European Journal of Operational Research (EJOR) will be
> prepared, based on the
> papers presented during the ESI. Just as important is the varied social
> program that is prepared
> for the participants.
