YoungOR 18 - Call for Papers
*The Peter Chalk Centre, University of Exeter, 9 - 11 April 2013*
Antuela Tako
Are you interested in presenting at Young OR 18 or do you know someone who is?
Young OR is a highly popular conference for academics and practitioners within the first ten years of their careers in O.R. It provides an excellent opportunity to learn about how O.R. and analytics are used in a wide range of applications. The conference programme will include plenaries, keynotes, workshops and parallel stream, as well as a full social programme, where participants will have the opportunity to meet and network with fellow academics and practitioners working in different sectors and areas of O.R. One key feature that makes the Young OR conference unique is that it provides participants a friendly and supportive environment to present to peers, hence facilitating the sharing of best practice.
Presentations are welcome on a range of O.R. topics and areas of application including, but not limited to, the new and emerging area of analytics, more conventional hard O.R. and soft O.R. methods as well as new areas such as sustainability in O.R., O.R. in the third sector, and so on. Application-oriented presentations and case studies in areas such as health and defence are also welcome. For more information about the streams available, please refer to the stream definitions at www.theorsociety.com/yor18. If your talk does not fall into one of the streams listed please contact the Conference Chair (Antuela Tako), or the Programme Schedulers and Stream Co-ordinators (Tom O’Dell, Miles Weaver and Vicky Forman)
At the first instance please contact one of the stream leaders to discuss your paper and to register your interest, preferably by 1 November 2012. The submission system is now open and presenters are invited to submit their title and abstract via the YoungOR18 website (www.theorsociety.com/yor18), as soon as possible. However, we are open to submissions until 28 February 2013.
Titles and abstracts should be phrased in an interesting way to attract people to the presentation. These will appear in the conference handbook given to all delegates, so long as at least one of the speakers has registered and paid the relevant conference fee.
