Purpose and history
The EURO WORKING GROUP on 'Ethics and OR' gathers scientists, teachers and professionals in the field of Operational Research who are committed to inspire OR researchers, teachers, students, consultants and decision-makers to integrate ethical aspects and considerations in their OR research, teaching, consultancy and decision-making.
The EURO Working Group on 'Ethics and OR' was formed in 2001 at the EURO XVIII Conference in Rotterdam, one year after the inspiring opening lecture of Professor J.P. Brans of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel on "OR, Ethics and Decision" at the EURO XVII Conference in Budapest (July 16-19, 2000).

EWG WORKSHOP ON 'PROMOTING ETHICS IN OR' - April 25-26, 2003 - INSEAD, FONTAINEBLEAU, FRANCE:
Luk Van Wassenhove and Marc Le Menestrel hosted the highly succesful two-day INSEAD workshop on 'Promoting Ethics in OR', sponsored by the INSEAD R&D department, at the INSEAD campus in Fontainebleau. At this workshop, senior Operational Research scholars and ethical experts joined forces to synthesize the state-of-the-art of 'Ethics and Operational Research' at the theoretical, practical and institutional levels. Short papers were presented and discussions moderated in three parallel workshops, followed by synthesis, discussion and brainstorming in plenary sessions. Furthermore, avenues of research as well as practical and institutional actions aimed at favoring the integration of Ethics and Operational Research were developed.
12th MINI EURO CONFERENCE - April 2-5, 2002 - VRIJE UNIVERSITEIT BRUSSEL, BRUSSELS, BELGIUM.
Our working group actively participated in the organisation of the 12th Mini EURO Conference. The themes of the conference were Decision Support Systems, E- and M-Commerce, Multicriteria Decision Aid, Human-Centered Processes and, last but not least, Ethical Dilemmas in Decision Making. Many interesting papers on Ethics and OR were presented (some of these will be published in a special issue of EJOR).
EURO XVIII CONFERENCE - July 9-11, 2001 - ERASMUS UNIVERSITEIT ROTTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS.
The EURO Working Group on 'Ethics and OR' was founded in 2001 at the EURO XVIII Conference in Rotterdam. At this conference, the new EWG organised some sessions in co-operation with the EWG on Human Centered Processes.
EURO XVII CONFERENCE - July 16-19, 2000 - BUDAPEST, HUNGARY.
Here, Professor J.P. Brans of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel held his opening lecture on 'OR, Ethics and Decision' and proposed the 'Oath of Prometheus'. One year later, this resulted in the formation of the EURO Working Group on 'Ethics and OR'.
