Members:	The current membership is 365. In 1975, the group consisted of 29 members from 5 different countries. Among the present members, 42 were already members in 1980. Currently, 38 countries are represented. During recent years, each meeting attracted 5 to 20 new members (with an average of 13). These figures show how lively the group is terms of meetings and participation.

Purpose and history

• to contribute to the development, at a European level, of an original way of thinking in the field of multicriteria decision aiding;


• to allow each member of the group to present to others methodological, theoretical or applied results, to submit his/her own work and thoughts to tcritical discussion by the group, and also to facilitate collaboration;


• to develop multicriteria aid for decisions by facilitating contact between all people interested in the subject, and by stimulating continuity and progress in exchanges and work;


• to keep the group alive and open by means of bi-annual meetings which should not be mini-conferences but real meetings favourable to exchanges and to the emergence of new ideas.
