Call for EWGLA board
by Diego Ponce 14 Oct '26

14 Oct '26

Dear EWGLA members, As most of you might recall, the duration of service for the EWGLA Coordination Board is four years, changing one member at a time during an EWGLA meeting such that the three members are from different countries. Since Hatice was elected as board member in September 2022 (EWGLA of Aveiro), we had the agreement in the last meeting in Jerez that she completes her term of 4 years and we elect a new board member in 2026. Thus, we are looking for a volunteer to replace Hatice Çalik. According to the rules, eligible candidates are members of a EURO Society who do not work in the UK or Spain. If you are interested, please send the board (ewgla-board(a)mail.euro-online.org) a one-page document where you state and promote your candidacy until Friday, 30 October 2026. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Best wishes, Diego, Hatice, and Serena www.us.es [1] Por favor considere el medio ambiente antes de imprimir este correo electrónico. - Este correo electrónico y, en su caso, cualquier fichero anexo al mismo, contiene información de carácter confidencial exclusivamente dirigida a su destinatario o destinatarios.

Location related references Collection October 2026

07 Oct '26

Dear fellow Locater, You will find below my collection of references for October 2026. It is subdivided into the 36 most recent references from 2023-2027 and 64 earlier ones from 2021- 2017. The attached BibTeX file contains as usual the full 100 item October collection. Enjoy, Sincerely Frank Plastria PS. It seems that I have not always been sufficiently careful with my sources and have allowed to let in a number of papers out of ‘predatory’ journals of dubious quality such as listed at https://www.predatoryjournals.org/the-list/journals.

Dear fellow Locater, You will find below my summer collection of references for August 2026. It is subdivided into the modest 29 most recent references from 2023-2026 (midsummer is also quiet on the publication front) and 71 earlier ones all of 2017. The attached BibTeX file contains as usual the full 100 item August collection. Enjoy, Sincerely Frank Plastria %%%%%%%%% RECENT %%%%%%%%%%%%% [1] Anastasios Zachos.

ISOLDE Group Photo Collection
by Sibel Alumur Alev 24 Jul '26

24 Jul '26

Dear Location community, I'm very happy to let you know that we finally have the group photo from ISOLDE I, held in April 1978 in Banff, Canada. The photo is attached and can also be found here: https://uwaterloo.ca/isolde-conference/isolde-i I sincerely thank Jim Morris for editing the photo and sending it my way. I created the ISOLDE Conference website (https://uwaterloo.ca/isolde-conference/) after ISOLDE XII, which was held in Japan in 2012. Fourteen years later, I'm very happy to share that we now have the complete collection of group photos from all sixteen ISOLDE conferences available on the website. Over time, I also obtained old photo albums, thanks to Zvi Drezner and H.A. Eiselt, including albums containing hard copies of photos dating back to ISOLDE II in 1981. I scanned these photos myself and shared them with the location community through Facebook. At the time, Facebook albums were accessible even to people who did not have a Facebook account. It seems this is no longer the case, so we may need to find another repository to store and share the photos and transfer them over. Please get in touch with me if you would like to help with this initiative. I look forward to seeing you at ISOLDE XVII, which will be held jointly with EWGLA XXXI on June 16-18, 2027, in Istanbul, Turkiye. Best regards, Sibel Sibel Alumur Alev, Ph.D., P.L.Eng.

EWGLA and ISOLDE 2027
by Serena Fugaro (NBS - Staff) 18 May '26

18 May '26

Dear EWGLA community, Following the cancellation of the ISOLDE 2026 meeting in February, which we also shared on our mailing list, we received a proposal from the ISOLDE Steering Committee to transform the EWGLA 2027 meeting in İstanbul into a joint EWGLA-ISOLDE meeting in the EWGLA format. This proposal has been discussed with the EWGLA 2027 Scientific Committee, including the EWGLA Board and the EWGLA 2027 Chairs, and we are pleased to announce that: the EWGLA 2027 meeting will be held in Istanbul and will be a joint EWGLA-ISOLDE event. The original dates of 16–18 June 2027 will be kept, with the possibility of extending to include 15 June. Therefore, we recommend marking 15–18 June 2027 in your calendars. Further details will be shared with you. We look forward to meeting the entire Location community in İstanbul. Best regards,  EWGLA Board Diego, Hatice and Serena Dr Serena Fugaro (she/her) Lecturer in Business Analytics Innovation, Technology and Operations Management Group (ITOM) Norwich Business School University of East Anglia NR4 7TJ ???? s.fugaro(a)uea.ac.uk [cid:3b7df95f-32fc-4585-b3b8-7e9d03c15c37]
