Dear colleagues, I wanted to share this information from the last VeRoLog newsletter: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VeRoLog 2024 Conference and VeRoLog Doctoral Disseration Prize – canceled ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear community, Due to the difficult situation in Israel, we are sorry to announce the cancellation of the 2024 VeRoLog conference planned to take place in Tel Aviv. This decision was made jointly by the organizing committee and the VeRoLog Board. It was decided that VeRoLog will not hold a conference in 2024. We hope to hold the VeRoLog conference in Tel Aviv in the future. As a consequence, the VeRoLog doctoral dissertation prize will not be awarded this year as planned, but eligible candidates will have the chance to apply for the prize at the next VeRoLog conference. In the past few years, since the COVID crisis began, the VeRoLog meetings were not as frequent as in the past, but the board is determined to revive the community's activity. The organizing committee of the 2024 VeRoLog meeting and VeRoLog board Le 27/09/2023 à 08:45, Fabien Lehuédé (via gdrro Mailing List) a écrit : > Dear colleagues, > > The EURO working group on Vehicle Routing and Logistics optimization > is organizing its 2024 doctoral dissertation prize. > > The prize is open to PhD theses in operations research for > transportation and logistics that were defended between January 1, > 2022 and June 30, 2023. > > The deadline for applying is on November 15,2023.

by Diego Ponce 03 Nov '23

03 Nov '23

Dear Locators, this is the second call of the year (first call was in February) for the initiative to support and encourage local or topic-specific location meetings. If you wish to organize a scientific meeting or workshop around a specific topic such as competitive location, emergency facility location, stochastic location etc. or a meeting covering a broader range of location topics in your institution, you will be able to request support from EWGLA up to a maximum of EUR1,000. The meeting should be open to the entire location community, and it must be announced via the EWGLA mailing list and the web site of the organized meeting (upon approval of the support). The procedure for applications and decisions for support is planned as follows: Applicants need to submit a brief letter of intention (about one page) to organize a meeting within the next 12 months. The applications will be evaluated within two weeks after the deadline and the amount of support will be communicated to the applicants. The letter of intention should provide the following details: 1. A brief description of the meeting, including sufficient information about the format (workshop, conference etc.), the organizers, and the target audience. 2. The topic and how it relates to Location Science. 3. A brief motivation on how this meeting will contribute to the advancement of Location Science or how the (local or international) location community will benefit from it. 4. A concrete explanation and reasoning for the kind of support that is asked for from EWGLA (travel expenses for invited external speakers, supporting student participation, etc.). 5. The budget requested from EWGLA and a plan of the estimated budget for the entire meeting. Note that all expenses will have to be justified with receipts and proofs of payment. 6. Mention of other potential supports from local/international societies, organizations (government, NGO), universities or industry. The deadline for the second call of this year is 15 January 2024. Depending on the number of applications received by the deadline, it will be possible to provide partial or full support (up to a maximum of EUR1,000) after evaluation.

EWGLA news
by Hatice ÇALIK 23 Jun '23

23 Jun '23

??Dear Locators, We would like to share EWGLA news with you under the following three topics: 1- EWGLA web site 2- EWGLA Coordination Board updates 3- EGWLA grants 2023 1- EWGLA web site We are updating the EWGLA website (https://www.euro-online.org/websites/ewgla/) and eagerly hoping to receive valuable inputs from you. Particularly, - A nice 'Location' graphic to replace the default banner on the home page. If you have ideas for the banner or maybe even already have figures from a presentation or a document that you prepared and can be published on our website without violating any copyright agreement, please let us know. - PhD thesis of yours or your students with a Location theme. Please send us the link to the open access repository (if a link is not possible, the pdf file unless there are copyright restrictions for publishing online) and we will add it to the "EWGLA Resources" page. - Please write us for any recommendations you might have about changes or additions to the web page. The website also has a new "EWGLA Grants" page with the list of early career researchers supported to participate EWGLA and/or ISOLDE meetings. The password for the password-protected pages is the city of the last EWGLA meeting (first letter capitalized). 2- EWGLA Coordination Board updates The EWGLA board typically consists of three members from different countries and each member serves for a duration of four years. Exceptionally, the board has been coordinated by four members since the last meeting in Aveiro. Bogi and Joerg have provided invaluable contributions and outstanding efforts since 2018 and 2015, respectively. Through this e-mail, we would like to already thank them both very much! Regarding the announcement for a new board candidacy, we received one application from Dr. Diego Ponce (Universidad de Sevilla, IMUS). Therefore, we will seek for your approval of Diego as new board member during the EWGLA session in ISOLDE/EWGLA 2023 and we hope that many of you will be there. 3- EGWLA grants 2023 We are thrilled to announce the results of the first call of EWGLA Supports for local and topic-specific meetings which we introduced for the first time this year. We received a single application from The International Workshop on Locational Analysis and Related Problems IWOLOCA-2023, which will be supported with up to 1,000 Euros. We are looking forward to receiving more applications from you. For participating the ISOLDE/EWGLA meeting this year, EWGLA will support four early career researchers among the seven applicants: Thomas Byrne (University of Strathclyde), Zehranaz Dönmez (Bilkent University), Ricardo Gázquez (University of Málaga), Shunee Johnn (University of Edinburgh). We thank all the applicants and wish a fruitful conference to all ISOLDE/EWGLA participants of this year! All the best, Bogi, Carmen, Hatice, and Joerg

IWOLOCA 2023 - Second Call for abstracts (extended deadline) + Registration is Open + Accommodation + Travel Grants Available
by Joerg Kalcsics 20 Jun '23

20 Jun '23

Dear colleagues, The XII International Workshop on Locational Analysis and Related Problems will take place 7-8 September 2023 in Edinburgh (United Kingdom). This workshop is jointly organized by the Spanish Location Network, the Location Working Group on Location GELOCA (SEIO), and the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS). SECOND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS This is the second call for abstracts. If you would like to contribute with a paper on a facility location problem or on a related area (widely understood), please, submit an abstract of at most two pages. You can find attached the template for the abstract. To submit your abstract, please, use the following link: IWOLOCA 2023 (XII International Workshop on Locational Analysis and Related Problems) (easychair.org)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/easychair.org/my/conference?conf=iwoloca…>. Please, note that you only need to upload the .tex file (and any other file required to compile, should that be the case). The compiled pdf, or the sty or cls files provided in the template are not required when you upload your abstract. If you are uploading more than one file, please, do so as zip file. Important dates for the abstract submission: * Deadline for abstract submission (EXTENDED): 28 June 2023. * Notification of acceptance: 29 June 2023. REGISTRATION AND ACCOMMODATION We are delighted to inform you that registration is open at IWOLOCA 2023 | University of Edinburgh<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.epay.ed.ac.uk/conferences-and-events…> Several questions are asked at registration for logistics purposes. Please, answer all of them. We have two different registration fees, depending on wheter you need accommodation or not. The "basic registration fee" is £125. It includes participation to the scientific sessions, coffee breaks and lunches for the two days, a guided tour, and the gala dinner on Friday. It does not include accommodation. Deadline is 15 August. The "full registration fee" is £525. It includes the same things as the basic registration fee plus 3 nights of accommodation (check-in is Wednesday 6 September and check-out is Saturday 9 September) at university central venues of KM Central and The Scholar. The room will be allocated to you at one fo the two venues by strict order of registration. Note that it is still high season in Edinburgh on the dates of the workshop. So, it may be hard to find a central accommodation cheaper than this. As we have a cut off date for the room that we have managed to block, the deadline is 7 July. TRAVEL GRANTS Through different funding bodies, we have managed to secure some funding to support with travel and accommodation expenses. If you wish to apply, please, indicate so in the registration by answering appropiately the relevant questions. Decisions on the award of these grants will be made and communicated as soon as possible, but they will not happen by the deadline of the full registration fee and grants will not be paid before the workshop takes place. Priority will be given to participants presenting a paper, and among them to early stage researchers (PhD students and postdoctoral researchers), women, members of GELOCA, and participants from weak currency countries. If you have any question, please send your email to iwoloca(a)gm.uca.es<mailto:iwoloca@gm.uca.es> with cc to at least one of the following: sergio.garcia-quiles(a)ed.ac.uk<mailto:sergio.garcia-quiles@ed.ac.uk>, Joerg.Kalcsics(a)ed.ac.uk<mailto:Joerg.Kalcsics@ed.ac.uk>.

Location related references - june 2023
by Frank Plastria 14 Jun '23

14 Jun '23

Dear EWGLA members, Some ten years ago I retired from university and stopped my old semi-regular column on this list of location related references. I think my last one was January 2013, for those who remember. However, I never really stopped collecting the many new references I got news of that seemed of possible interest to the location community. So I have a quite large backlog to share, and will try to do so at an acceptable pace of between 20 and 50 per month as long as I have some in stock. These will be a mix of new ones as well as older ones, rather working backwards in time till somewhere in 2013 (if I will be able to get there ... there are so many!). I collect them in BibTeX format (often including the many errors with which they are made available online by their publishers), but thanks to Bogi (Boglarka G.
