| Purpose and history | The goal of EWG ORD is to promote and to facilitate communication links among European (and other) researchers working in areas of operational research for development. EWG ORD was established with numerous founding members at a satellite meeting of the EURO XXI 2006 Conference in Iceland, July 2-5, 2006. If you are interested in EWG ORD, please contact us! In case of your kind consideration and, maybe, your wish to join us as a member electronically, you are warmly welcome! We sincerely like to collaborate with you. The new members can automatically subscribe themselves to the EWG ORD mailing list. To subscribe, send mail to: majordomo@bristol.ac.uk and include the subject line: subscribe euro-ordc-wg Objectives of EWG ORD: -to disseminate state-of-the-art knowledge and to support research in operational research for development, -to assist in gathering the operational research for development communities in Europe organized under the umbrella of EURO, -to support preparation, refereeing and editing of publications, -to establish regular information channels and regular meetings, -to involve industrial organizations and users of optimization in the activities listed above, -vivid exchange between scientific experience and enthusiasm of the youth, -encouragement of building up a common and developing Europe, and -deepening of peace and friendship in Europe and in the world. |
