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 XVIII 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 20 December 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 January 15 
2014.

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
