Dear EWGLA members, We are organizing the Location Analysis I stream of IFORS as Europe chairs. The conference will take place in Vienna (Austria) on 12-17 July 2026. https://www.ifors2026.at/home/ If you would like to present your research within a Location Analysis session, please use the following session code in submission: f64f705c Feel free to share this e-mail with your colleagues who are not yet EWGLA members. As always, we will do our best to cluster the relevant talks in the same sessions. Thank you and we look forward to your submissions.

ISOLDE XVII Conference - Cancelled
by Diana Ramirez-Rios 10 Feb '26

10 Feb '26

Dear colleagues, It is with a great sadness that we are announcing the cancellation of our ISOLDE XVII Conference proposed this year in Chicago. Thank you to all who submitted your abstracts, we appreciate your contributions and interest in participating in ISOLDE. Nonetheless, after extending the deadline a couple of times, we ended up receiving 47 abstracts. Ultimately, these numbers are not enough to cover the high fixed costs of holding a conference in Chicago, even after trying to downsize the conference for a smaller group. Even though this year's event is cancelled, our planning committee has discussed about the next steps to save ISOLDE. So please stay tuned for future updates about this. Best regards, Diana Ramirez-Rios, University at Buffalo, dgramire(a)buffalo.edu<mailto:dgramire@buffalo.edu> Gita Taherkhani, Loyola University Chicago, gtaherkhani(a)luc.edu<mailto:gtaherkhani@luc.edu> ISOLDE XVII Co-chairs
