Call for contributions

The theme of this year's conference is the Collaboration of Operations Research practitioners with practitioners from other fields, like Machine Learning, Econometrics, Simulation, etc. We will talk about inspiring examples of synergies arising across fields, where multiple disciplines amplify each other in the ultimate quest to deliver impact on business, society, economics, and human lives in general. Speakers are also invited to share their experiences of difficulties they have encountered with such multi-disciplinary collaboration and any insights or strategies on how to address these.

We invite submissions which showcase successful collaboration examples of Operations Research with other fields and look forward to insightful discussions and networking opportunities with practitioners from various fields.

Please send your (maximum of) 1-page abstract in MS Word or PDF format to europractforum2024@inescc.pt
