| Purpose and history | The EURO Working Group on Project Management and Scheduling was established by Professors Luís Valadares Tavares and Jan Weglarz during the EURO VIII Conference, Lisbon, September 1986. It was decided to organize a workshop every two years. Gathering the most promising theoretical and applied advances in Project Management and Scheduling, and to assess the state-of-the-art of this field and its potential to support management systems are the objectives of these workshops. The first workshop was held in Lisbon in July 1988, organized by L. Tavares. It attracted sixty participants from 16 countries. A special issue on Project Management and Scheduling was published by EJOR, including selected papers from this Workshop (November 1990). The following workshops were organized in Compiegne (1990), Como (1992), Leuven (1994), Poznan (1996), Istanbul (1998), Osnabrück (2000), Valencia (2002), Nancy (2004), Poznan (2006), Istnabul (2008) and Tours (2010). The tradition of publishing a special issue of EJOR on Project Management and Scheduling based on papers presented during the workshop has been maintained since the first meeting until 2006. Since then special issues of other journals have been published after each Workshop. |
