Conference Objective:
The EURO Working Group on OR for Development (EWG ORD) first established in
2006 has continuously worked to promote and facilitate communication links
among European and other regional researchers working in areas of
operational research for development.
This conference aims to bring together operations researchers who have used
OR tools to address problems in education, health (e.g., spread of
infectious diseases), basic public services, water, technology, resource use
(physical or financial), infrastructure, agricultural, industrialization,
environmental sustainability, energy, unabated population growth and climate
change.
Conference Format:
Participants will present their papers and paper reviewers assigned in
advance will give feedback. All participants will be given all the accepted
papers in advance, which will give them time to study the papers. Ample time
will be given for discussion of each of the papers presented.
Cathal Brugha, Emeritus and Adjunct Professor at the University College
Dublin Centre will lead workshops for Business Analytics, and
Ashley Carreras of De Montfort University will lead two Workshops.
Other speakers will also share their experiences in a variety of projects,
which have impacted development. (For details, please click
