We will discuss not only models and algorithms, but how Operations Researchers can engage with end users, stakeholders and work with other specialists to deliver impact in their work. The core focus of the conference is this intersection of research, expertise and practical applications and how it affects OR projects in all stages, from conceptualization to practical use.<\/p>\n<p>The conference will explore how to make OR solutions more easily accessible to a wider, non-expert audience, and discussions and presentations will help us as practitioners better understand how we can bring our solutions into use. The goal is to increase the impact and usage of OR across industries and application domains.<\/p>\n<p>More details can be found at\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/www.euro-online.org\/websites\/or-in-practice\/euro-practitioners-forum-6th-annual-conference\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euro-online.org\/websites\/or-in-practice\/euro-practitioners-forum-6th-annual-conference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-msys-clicktrack=\"0\">https:\/\/www.euro-online.org\/websites\/or-in-practice\/euro-practitioners-forum-6th-annual-conference\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4b02a511fee5bb92fa19f5b945264eb6\"><strong>Important dates:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>11 January, 2026:<\/strong>\u00a0Submission deadline<\/li>\n<li><strong>31 January, 2026:<\/strong>\u00a0Notification of acceptance<\/li>\n<li><strong>20 February, 2026:<\/strong>\u00a0Final version of submissions<\/li>\n<li><strong>5 March, 2026:<\/strong>\u00a0Author registration deadline<\/li>\n<li><strong>20 March, 2026:<\/strong>\u00a0Early bird registration deadline (registration for the conference dinner no longer possible after this date)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/h3>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\"><strong><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/europf2026.eventbrite.co.uk\/\">REGISTRATION<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For any inquiries, please\u00a0contact the conference organisers on this address:<em>\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"mailto:epf2026@pw.edu.pl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">epf2026@pw.edu.pl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sponsors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2152 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.euro-online.org\/websites\/or-in-practice\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/02\/ORTEC_logo-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"284\" height=\"148\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2170 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.euro-online.org\/websites\/or-in-practice\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/hexaly-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"262\" height=\"88\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2132\" src=\"https:\/\/www.euro-online.org\/websites\/or-in-practice\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/02\/Gurobi.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"85\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2133\" src=\"https:\/\/www.euro-online.org\/websites\/or-in-practice\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/02\/Euro_Logo_RGB_big.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"274\" height=\"134\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-spacer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><strong>Keynote speakers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sylwester Ciodyk (Ortec Poland): <\/strong><em>Practical Optimization: Real-World Success Stories<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Pawe\u0142 Lichocki (Google): <\/strong><em>An engineering perspective on mixed integer programming in computer systems<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Micha\u0142 K\u0142os (PSE S.A.
