2025 APDIO Workshop on Teaching Operational Research — Hands-On Edition
Let’s make OR irresistible

 

Date: 06/06/2025 (Friday)

Place: Instituto Superior Técnico, Centro de Congressos, Pavilhão de Civil – Lisbon

 

This hands-on workshop is designed to bring together both seasoned and early-career OR professors to collaboratively enhance their teaching practices. Participants will engage in a day of practical, interactive activities aimed at expanding their teaching toolbox and sparking inspiration. Some light preparation is expected beforehand, and full participation throughout the day is encouraged. We welcome curiosity, creativity, and the courage to try new approaches. By the end of the day, each participant will leave with:

• A toolbox of ideas and activities to use in the classroom;
• A network of fellow OR educators;
• A boost of motivation and creativity for the next academic year.

 

Agenda:

 10h30: Opening and welcome: What’s in your toolbox?

10h45: Lightning pitches from participants: Teach me your pains (and gains)

11h30: Round table: What if we taught OR differently?

12h30: Lunch break

14h00: Hands-on lab: Reimagining OR courses

16h00: Coffee break

16h30: Synthesis session: OR hacks in 180 seconds

17h15: Wrap-up: What will you try first?

 

Please register here  until May 23. The registration is free for APDIO members, but mandatory. Non-members are also welcome to register (at a 40€ fee).
