EURO Support for NATCOR Bursaries
NATCOR (http://www.natcor.ac.uk/), a National Taught Course Centre in Operational Research, delivers taught courses to PhD students, from across Europe, on a number of different topics in OR.
In 2022, it is anticipated that all courses will be residentially based with in-person teaching. The organisers reserve the right to revert to online delivery should circumstances change.
EURO is advertising a competition for bursaries. https://www.euro-online.org/web/pages/1568/natcor-bursaries
The NATCOR course fees and accommodation (if applicable) will be funded by EURO for successful candidates. (Typically, accommodation for any residential courses will be for bed and breakfast). Any extra costs incurred will need to be settled personally.
