Conference programme
The theme of this year’s conference is the Collaboration of Operations Research practitioners with practitioners from other fields, like Machine Learning, Econometrics, Simulation, etc. We will talk about inspiring examples of synergies arising across fields, where multiple disciplines amplify each other in the ultimate quest to deliver impact on business, society, economics, and human lives in general. Speakers are also invited to share their experiences of difficulties they have encountered with such multi-disciplinary collaboration and any insights or strategies on how to address these.
Objectives
- Knowledge Exchange: Facilitate the exchange of cutting-edge knowledge and practical insights among practitioners in the field. More particularly, we want attendees to become curious about cross-discipline exchange.
- Networking: Provide a platform for professionals to build meaningful connections, fostering collaboration and partnerships within the industry and academy.
- Professional Development: Offer opportunities for attendees to enhance their skills, stay updated on industry trends, and gain practical knowledge to improve their performance in their respective roles.
Submission guidelines
We invite submissions which showcase successful collaboration examples of Operations Research with other fields and look forward to insightful discussions and networking opportunities with practitioners from various fields.
