BOR Summer School 2016
2016-05-15 - 2016-05-21 | Aalto University, Espoo, Finland
BOR Summer School 2016 was a great success!
Next BOR Summer School in June 2019, Loughborough.
We had 48 participants from 25 countries and 13 speakers
“Best academic event I’ve ever been to in my last 9 years in academia.”
“Very good overview of the field in general.”
“All attendees were very interesting and I learnt a lot just by talking to them.”
Behavioural operational research (BOR) is a new emerging area in operational research. It is interested in the behavioural issues related to model based problem solving as well as to using models to describe human behaviour in complex settings. To learn more about this exciting new area see the papers in the EJOR special issue on BOR.
This summer school was the first in this new area and the speakers included the pioneering professors in the field. This was a unique opportunity to get an early start in this emerging field. The presentations covered different areas of operational research. There was also talks by brain researchers and demonstrations of new measurement techniques, including brain imaging, which are used in studying human emotions and behaviour.
The students had the possibility to describe their research projects and present posters. Students also had the opportunity to discuss their research ideas with our experienced speakers and get valuable feedback.
The summer school was organized by the Systems Analysis Laboratory in the Aalto university and theBOR community. It took place on the Otaniemi campusof the Aalto university near Helsinki.

Behavioural Operational Research: Emerging & Interdisciplinary Perspectives
2021-05-12 14:30 - 16:30 UTC
On Wednesday, 12 May 2021, the EWG-BOR, jointly with the UK OR Society’s BOR SIG, hosted an online workshop for academics and practitioners to explore the challenges and opportunities arising from interdisciplinary and emerging perspectives on Behavioural OR.
Professor Alberto Franco, Loughborough University, UK, and Coordinator of the European Working Group on Behavioural OR opened the event with a presentation on Taking stock of behavioural OR: A review of behavioural studies with an intervention focus, highlighting differences between process and variance studies. He provided suggestions for future BOR research, including research into the role and impact of model-generated information feedback on behaviour and performance, model building involvement, model reuse, and learning as well as research that aims at clarifying the role and impact of individual differences. The accompanying paper has been recently published in EJOR[i].
The workshop then kicked off with speed talks from young BOR academics who provided an overview of their research activities. The presentations featured:

Dr Tuomas Lahtinen, Aalto University (Finland): Path dependence in Operations Research practice – Observations and experiences from the field
Dr Aysegül Engin, University of Vienna (Austria): The cognitive ability and working memory framework: Interpreting cognitive reflection test results in the domain of the cognitive experiential theory
Dr Alice H. Aubert, Eawag – Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Switzerland): OR processes online with laypeople: behavioural issues
Dr Marta Lopes, Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra (Portugal): Interdisciplinary perspectives on Energy and Behaviour: Towards a Low Carbon Future
Dr George Papachristos, TU Eindhoven (The Netherlands): The behavioural link between system dynamics and transitions
Dr Firouzeh Taghikhah, Australian National University (Australia): Exploring consumer behaviour and policy options in organic food adoption: Insights from the Australian wine sector
Dr Katharina Burger, The University of Bristol (UK): Behavioural Operational Research: A Capabilities Approach

The slides from the speed talks are available here: Speed talks
Presentations were followed by a breakout session, involving small groups of delegates discussing a particular theme, focusing on the following areas:

Open science & replications
Social media for research and community development
Teaching and training BOR: resources and reference materials

The Miro boards from the breakout sessions are available here: Miro boards
Finally, Dr Konstantinos Katsikopoulos, Southampton Business School, UK and Chair of the UK OR Society’s Behavioural OR Special Interest Group, closed the event on behalf of the UK BOR SIG, and Prof Alberto Franco and Prof Rudolf Vetschera, University of Vienna highlighted future engagement opportunities, such as the online EWG-BOR summer school 2021 and the hybrid EURO conference 2021 in Athens.
Delegates from seven European countries and international participants from Brazil and India contributed to the online event. The workshop provided the opportunity to engage with colleagues across the BOR community and explore areas of collective interest and capability within the areas of teaching and training BOR, open science and replication and social media for behavioural operational research and for community building. It is hoped that the opportunities identified and discussed will spark ideas for future innovation and collaboration.
The event was organised by participants of the 1st BOR Summer School held five years ago at Aalto University, Finland.

BOR Stream at EURO 2022
2022-07-03 - 2022-07-06 | Aalto University, Espoo, Finland
The upcoming EURO 2022 conference will take place during July 3rd -6th, 2022 at Aalto University, Espoo, Finland (https://euro2022espoo.com/). The organisers are planning for an entirely in-person conference, so all participants will need to be present.
We invite contributions to the Behavioural OR Stream that examine behavioural issues in relation to the design, use and evaluation of OR approaches in both laboratory and field settings, and as input to the development of behavioural models.

Aysegül Engin. Tracing group conflict paths in a model-driven support environment: A cognitive motivation perspective. Find details here …
Behavioral studies have revealed that the way group decision support models and processes are used in practice is contingent to how they are perceived to enable or constraint the ability of group members to achieve their goals. This raises the possibility that the same decision support tool or process applied to the same problem may be used differently by various groups and thus lead to different outcomes. We report preliminary results of an ongoing research program that investigates the extent to which high and low levels of cognitive motivation affect the nature of group members’ engagement with a model-driven decision support approach, and how the group manages conflict in this context. We find that groups exhibit various patterns of group conflict management processes despite using the same decision support approach to complete a task designed to generate a requisite level of cognitive conflict within the groups. Furthermore, groups low in cognitive motivation almost never surfaced conflict. Results for groups high in cognitive motivation are mixed: whereas almost all groups in this category are able to express and deal with their disagreements, only a small proportion also surface and acknowledge the existence of a conflict and resolve it positively. These preliminary findings can have significant implications for the theory and practice of model-driven group decision support.

BOR Workshop - 2023-09 Delft
2023-09-21 - 2023-09-22 | TU Delft campus, Jaffalaan 5, Delft, 2628 BX, Netherlands
The Fall Workshop from the European Working Group on Behavioural OR (EWG BOR) is a 2-day workshop to foster the exchange of BOR knowledge and research practices.

Registration for BOR Fall Workshop 2023 in Delft (NL) now open!

Dear Colleague,
We are happy to announce the forthcoming Fall Workshop of the European Working Group on Behavioural OR (EWG BOR) that will take place in Delft, The Netherlands, 21-22 September 2023. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers, students and practitioners to engage in discussions about ongoing recent research, the current state of the field, and future directions of the emerging BOR community. The programme will be comprised of keynote talks from experts, methodological and practical sessions, short presentations by participants, and interactive discussions.
Central to the BOR agenda is the understanding of how human behaviour affects, or is affected by, OR-supported activity, and the use of this understanding to improve OR practice and education. Against this backdrop, we cordially invite contributions that explore behavioural issues in relation to OR, especially those that examine behaviour in OR-supported settings.
Your contribution will be a short presentation delivered as a lightning talk based on conceptual or empirical work that is either complete or still ongoing. Additionally, we provide all participants the option to present a poster. For further information, please see “Guidelines for Authors” in the section below.
It is possible to attend without submitting a talk or a poster contribution.

Konstantinos Katsikopoulos, Professor of Behavioural Science, Director of Research, University of Southampton Business School
Abstract
How do people make decisions under risk and uncertainty in operational settings? How to open the black box by specifying the cognitive processes that lead to these decisions? Drawing on economics, psychology and artificial intelligence, I provide an innovative perspective on behavioural operations. I show how to build optimization as well as heuristic models for describing human behaviour and how to compare such models on various dimensions such as predictive power and transparency, as well as discussing interventions for improving human behaviour.

Call for Papers for a Special Issue on Behavioural Issues in Multicriteria Decision Aiding
2025-02-28
Complex decisions involving consideration of a plurality of points of view, technically called criteria, need to be supported by articulated procedures permitting the Decision Maker (DM) to form their preferences and convictions with a systematic interaction with experts and decision analyst. To ensure the effectiveness and the fairness of the decision support, behavioural aspects of the interaction between DMs, experts and decision analysts, as well as between all the actors involved in the multicriteria decision-aiding process, have to be taken into consideration…
This special issue solicits a systematic discussion on this aspect of decision-aiding procedures, encouraging contributions related to the behavioural issues of multicriteria decision support and their consideration in multicriteria decision-aiding methods (find details here).
