Dear Locators, please see the announcement below. Please also distribute to your PhD students. Cheers, Joerg. From: Operational Research community <ORNET(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK> On Behalf Of Sarah Fores Sent: Dienstag, 17. Oktober 2023 17:52 To: ORNET(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: EURO Support for NATCOR Bursaries EURO Support for NATCOR Bursaries https://www.euro-online.org/web/pages/1568/natcor-bursaries NATCOR (https://www.natcor.ac.uk/) a National Taught Course Centre in Operational Research, delivers taught courses to PhD students, from across Europe, on a number of different topics in OR. EURO is advertising a competition for bursaries for courses run in 2024. The NATCOR course fees and on-site accommodation (if applicable) will be funded by EURO for successful candidates. Typically, accommodation for any residential courses will be four nights bed and breakfast. If additional or alternative accommodation is required, candidates will need to arrange and pay for this. Also any extra costs incurred will need to be settled personally. Please also be reminded that successful candidates requiring visas will need to apply for these in good time. Eligibility Applicants must be PhD students, from one of the EURO member countries or studying in one of the EURO member countries(see https://www.euro-online.org/web/pages/1457/current-member-societies) Applicants must have good English Language skills as all NATCOR courses will be in English. Preference will be given to students in their first or second years but all are welcome to apply. Preference will also be given to applicants who have not previously received support from EURO for NATCOR or other PhD schools. Application To apply for a bursary, candidates from a EURO member society country, or studying in a EURO member society country, should submit a zip file containing the application form (available at https://www.euro-online.org/web/pages/1540/euro-phd-schools-eps) their curriculum vitae (including their academic track record), a letter outlining their motivation to attend, and a letter of recommendation from their supervisor. Applicants should declare on their application if they are receiving any additional support from their PhD funding body or other sponsor. Selection Process The EURO VP2 selects and ranks (in the case of more than one accepted from the same country) the candidates. When accepting the candidates the VP2 should aim at a good distribution of the participants among the EURO member societies. Current Call - Important Dates Submit documents (see above) to https://www.euro-online.org/awards/natcor2024/registration.php Deadline for applications: December 21, 2023 Notification of acceptance: February 9, 2024 -- Dr Sarah Fores, FORS Manager of EURO ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the ORNET list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=ORNET&A=1 The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.

After an ISOLDE
by Sibel Alumur Alev 02 Jul '23

02 Jul '23

Dear friends, colleagues, locators: We just wrapped up another excellent ISOLDE meeting. This was the 16th ISOLDE and a very well-organized one. A big THANK YOU to Anita Schöbel and the organization team!!! Rajan Batta won the Lifetime Achievement in Location Analysis (LALA) award. This was announced during the conference dinner. He will be presented the award at the SOLA Business meeting during the INFORMS Annual Conference in Phoenix, Arizona to be held in October this year.

EWGLA news

??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
