The International Transactions in Operational Research (ITOR), the flagship journal published by the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS), will publish a special issue dedicated to "Concepts for Sustainable and Responsive Transportation and Logistics", at the occasion of the 23rd Triennial Conference of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS 2023) to be held in Santiago, Chile from July 10 to 14th. Although we strongly encourage the submission of papers presented at the special sessions devoted to this subject at the IFORS 2023 conference, this Call for Papers is open to the entire community of academics and practitioners.
Scope
Transport and logistics enable the movement of goods, trade, and social mobility. They are important pillars of economic growth and social development. Transport is also a major contributor - with over 15% - to global greenhouse gas emissions and has been recently subject to multiple shocks related to more extreme weather conditions, geopolitical and technological changes. Therefore, transport and logistics are very much in the focus of decision-makers of all levels, who are in search of sustainable and responsive solutions.
At the macro- and mesoscopic level, policy decision-makers are concerned with developing infrastructure, incentivizing alternative energy sources, and creating market conditions, which promote decarbonization in transport and help to reduce the effects of climate change. The social dimension remains very high in the political agenda and includes sustainable city transportation concepts, safeguarding mobility services in increasingly scarcely populated rural areas as well as enabling access to affordable transportation for developing countries. New technologies provide chances, but also disrupt the whole social systems and markets - think, for instance, about the impact of digital ridesharing platforms on the market of taxi services. With the recent experience of the COVID-19 pandemic, devastating earthquakes, and hurricanes, including the six-day blockage of the Suez Canal with a container ship caused by hush weather conditions, the awareness and high priority for resilient and responsive transportation and logistics systems dominate the agenda.
At the company level - that of transportation and logistics companies, operators of transport gateways, hubs, and warehouses, - the rethinking of business processes is a matter of survival in the highly competitive market. Companies are looking for efficient and effective ways to exploit new technologies - from sensors and data analytics to autonomously driven vehicles - in order to reach sustainability goals and adapt to changing market conditions while keeping costs low.
Logistics is also an essential, though mostly overseen part, of other industrial sectors. For instance, internal logistics accounts for 30-80% of the total manufacturing cost. Digitization and new autonomous technologies have a potential to a game changer that enables to restructure the production processes in a more agile and energy-efficient way.
This special issue aims to provide a forum for the latest developments in Operations Research towards concepts for sustainable and responsive transportation and logistics. It aims to condense essential theoretical and empirical findings and insights to support comprehensive reactive and proactive decision making at all levels. Topics of this special issue should address the aspects of sustainability and/or responsiveness in transportation and logistics and may include, but not be limited to, the use of analytical and optimization approaches as well as of empirical research to address significant theoretical and practical issues in the following areas:
* Design of sustainable and resilient transportation- and logistics- related infrastructure
* Mechanism design for markets of mobility and transportation-related services
* Public transportation
* City logistics
* Mobility concepts for rural areas
* Sustainable and/or responsive concepts for freight transportation, including decarbonization
* Intermodal and synchromodal transportation
* Collaboration in transport
* Sustainable and/or resilient operations of transportation hubs and gateways, such as ports, rail terminals, crossdocks, etc.
* Sharing economy for mobility services, including ride sharing
* People and freight-integrated transportation and logistics
* Drone-aided routing and transport
* Internal manufacturing logistics
* Dynamic, responsive (adjustable) planning approaches to transportation and logistics
* Robust and resilient planning approaches to transportation and logistics
We are particularly interested in receiving strong, innovative, and insightful studies that focus on both theoretical concepts and practical applications. These studies should make a significant contribution to the existing body of knowledge. Please note that all papers submitted for this special issue will undergo the standard peer review procedures established by ITOR.
Important Dates:
Submission start: August 1st, 2023
Deadline for submissions: December 31st, 2023
Manuscript Preparation and Submission

Dear ENOG members
Some of you may have seen a call for papers for a new and fair open
access journal entitled Open Journal of Mathematical Optimization (OJMO
<https://ojmo.centre-mersenne.org/>). OJMO is a journal owned by
academics and for academics. Its only purpose is to offer our fellow
mathematical optimizers a high-quality forum where papers are published
in open access free of charge. Hence, the results published in that
journal are freely available to anybody. In contrast, the purpose of
traditional publishing companies such as Springer and Elsevier is mostly
commercial, as summarized in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnxqoP-c0ZE (NOTE: English subtitles can
be activated in the settings.)
It is up to us to take hold of our publications back!
Please stay healthy,
Michael.
Dear Working Groups,
I would be grateful if you could disseminate the following information to
your members. With best wishes.

Following the EURO 2018 Women in Science and EURO 2019 Women in OR
sessions, interested members of the OR community are working with the EURO
Executive Committee on an initiative to create the EURO WISDOM Forum (Women
In Society: Doing Operational Research and Management Science).
This initiative restates the need for gender main-streaming and affirms
that OR/MS can offer exciting opportunities for all women if they have
equal access to resources and adequate training. Gender main-streaming aims
to integrate a gender dimension into existing institutions and practices in
order to achieve meaningful gender equality.
WISDOM is a forum to support, empower, and encourage the participation of all
genders in OR/MS within EURO. In particular, it aims to promote inclusivity
by the following actions:
1. Advise/make recommendations/highlight best practices to the EURO
executive on issues facing women in OR. Such guidelines can be disseminated
to EURO member societies and Working Groups. Positive progress, outcomes
and activities of member societies can serve as a template for other member
societies;
2. Promote championing, networking and mentoring, particularly of women at
the early stages of their career in OR;
3. Promote a conversation around how OR can be utilised to help create a
diverse and inclusive future.
In January 2020, all EURO member societies were invited to nominate one or
two members
to participate in establishing the EURO WISDOM Forum. At the moment, the
WISDOM Forum
organising committee (OC) includes 21 members from 10 European OR societies
including two EURO representatives, the EURO Vice Presidents Julia Bennell
and Claudia Archetti. The chair of the WISDOM OC is Paula Carroll and the
Secretary is Annunziata Esposito Amideo, both from the University College
Dublin, Ireland.
The WISDOM Forum will operate through three subcommittees focusing on
Research, Events and Public Relations (PR). The subcommittees chairs are:
Research : Paula Carroll, Events :
Renata Mansini (University of Brescia ,Italy), and PR: Tatiana Tchemisova
(University of Aveiro, Portugal).
======================================
Our first event is a webinar on “Bias/Fairness and Artificial Intelligence”.
You can register for the webinar and subscribe to WISDOM Forum updates by
emailing WISDOM(a)euro-online.org.
Webinar Format
* Expert panellists explains data bias in their respective disciplines and
application areas (~10/15 minutes each);
* Roundtable discussion with audience participation (~15 minutes).
