Dear operations research enthusiasts,
We invite you to submit an abstract and participate in the FORS50 conference organized in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Finnish Operations Research Society, to be held on September 23-24 at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. The conference program includes keynote speeches from distinguished researchers and practitioners in the field of operations research, contributed presentations, and an anniversary banquet! The FORS50 conference provides a forum for researchers, practitioners, and students to share their ideas and accomplishments in operations research. The language of the conference is English.
Key themes of the conference are “Human in Operations Research”, “How Operations Research Has Changed the World”, and “The Future of Operations Research”. The keynote speakers of the conference and the topics of their speeches are available on the conference website (link below).
We encourage conference participants to present their own work in operations research. Those interested in presenting should send an abstract of their presentation. Detailed instructions for submitting abstracts are found at the end of this email. The abstract submission deadline has been extended. Abstracts must be submitted no later than June 2, 2023. Information on accepted abstracts will be given on June 5, 2023 (or earlier on request). Accepted abstracts will be divided into parallel sessions.
