Call for Candidates

 

 

The Association of European Operational Research Societies (EURO) is pleased to announce its sponsorship of two young OR researchers from EURO countries willing to participate and to present a short communication to the XVII ELAVIO organized by ALIO, the Latin‐Ibero‐American Operations Research Association, with the support of the International Federation of OR Societies (IFORS). Travel expenses will be covered by EURO while local expenses will be covered by IFORS.

 

To apply, early stage researchers with a good knowledge of English should respond to the call by sending their National OR Society their application including (1) a complete CV, and (2) a paper proposal (complete text or a 3‐5 pages extended abstract).

 

Each EURO member Society is responsible for selecting one early stage researcher from the corresponding country and to forward her/his candidature to the IFORS EURO Regional Vice‐President. Candidatures must be sent through email and before 10 June 2013.

 

Candidates will be ranked on the basis of two criteria, each counting for 50%:

‐ CV (Diplomas, Publications, Conference presentations, Awards, etc.)

‐ Paper proposal (originality, quality of results, closeness to OR, real word applications, etc.).

 

The IFORS EURO Regional VP will inform the selected candidates as well as IFORS, the Chair of the Scientific Committee of the IFORS Institute, and the involved national societies about the final decision.

 

Announcement of the selected candidates will be given before 30 June 2013.

 

All selected candidates must send a report to the IFORS EURO Regional VP no later than one month after the termination of the EWSI. The report must summarize the activities of the
