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.

Support for local and topic-specific meetings to promote location science (second call)
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.
