Purpose and history

The application of OR methods in issues of sustainable development and civil engineering is important in striving to resolve the conflicts between the various competing goals in pursuit of economic prosperity, environmental quality, social equity and technological efficiency.
Emphasizing the aforementioned issues the working group raises the following objectives:
• to develop and apply the Multicriteria Methods in the fields of sustainable development and civil engineering;
• to promote the innovations based on application of Multicriteria Methods in construction industry;
• to facilitate the collaborations between European researchers working in field of OR in civil engineering and sustainable development; The primary purpose of the Working Group “OR in Sustainable Development and Civil Engineering” is to stimulate collaboration in area of OR in sustainable development and civil engineering.
• to ensure the continuity and progress of work and to transfer for scientific communities the ideas of multicriteria decision aiding, the results of work, thoughts and important discussions of group members by means of annual meetings and conferences.
The decision to establish Working Group “OR in Sustainable Development and Civil Engineering” was taken after long international collaboration between researchers from several European countries (Lithuania, Germany, Poland, United Kingdom, Belgium, Danmark, Latvia, Estonia, Czech Republic, Slovenia). The working group was created at EURO XXIII (Bonn, 2009).
