EWGLA XXIX Memories
by Serena Fugaro 17 Nov '24

17 Nov '24

Dear EWGLA Members, As you may know, EWGLA has awarded grants to four early career researchers to attend EWGLA XXIX in Sheffield: Silvia Baldassarre (University of Bergamo), Bruna Figueiredo (University of Aveiro), Eduardo Pipicelli (University of Naples Federico II) and Sophia Wrede (RWTH Aachen). As a thank you for this funding, the awardees created a video summarising the main events of the conference and capturing the atmosphere that characterises the EWGLA meetings and the British touch it had this year! We are delighted to share this video with the community: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1It1KKzu9_gSC69mJu9i0Ucmz0PpLTO59/view? usp=drive_link We hope you enjoy it and that it brings back many happy memories; also at the end of the video you will see all the conference participants saying in their languages "See you at the next EWGLA" which will be held in Jerez (17-19 September 2025). Kind regards, Diego, Hatice and Serena -- Serena Fugaro, Ph.D. Post-Doctoral Research Associate Institute for the Applications of Calculus "Mauro Picone" National Research Council of Italy Via dei Taurini, 19 00185 Roma, Italy

EURO2025 - Call for Abstracts and Session Proposals
by Serena Fugaro 13 Nov '24

13 Nov '24

Dear EWGLA Members, As you may know, the 34th edition of the EURO Conference will be held in Leeds (UK) from 22-25 June 2025 at the University of Leeds (https://euro2025leeds.uk/). It will be a special edition as the EURO will be celebrating its 50th anniversary. As the EWGLA board, we will be organizing the 'Locational Analysis' stream in this conference. If you or your colleagues would like to present within this stream, we welcome abstract submissions through EURO online by using code 95c3d41d. Please also let us know if you would like to organize a session in this stream. The deadline for abstract submission is 08 March 2025 (https://euro2025leeds.uk/call-for-abstracts/). We hope to listen to the talks of many of you in this conference and look forward to seeing you there. Kind regards, Diego, Hatice and Serena -- Serena Fugaro, Ph.D. Post-Doctoral Research Associate Institute for the Applications of Calculus "Mauro Picone" National Research Council of Italy Via dei Taurini, 19 00185 Roma, Italy
