VeRoLog PhD school
Friday 3, Saturday 4 and Monday 6 July 2026

The goal of this pre-conference workshop is to provide PhD students and post-docs interested in applying and developing operations research and mathematical optimization techniques to solve decision-making problems arising in different applications (such as vehicle routing, logistics, supply chain management, transportation, etc.) with the basics of some key methodologies.

PhD school teachers
- Dr Diego Cataruzza (University of Udine)
- Professor David Pisinger (Technical University of Denmark)
- Dr Roberto Roberti (University of Padova)
- Professor Anand Subramanian (Federal University of Paraíba)
