The meeting also celebrated the 40th anniversary of EWGLA, established during the first EURO Summer Institute (20 July - 10 August 1984) dedicated to Location Theory. We would like to thank the Organizing Committee, the Scientific Committee and all the participants for being part of this special meeting! You may browse the photo gallery at https://www.ewgla2024.org/EWGLA2024/ to feel or remember the warm atmosphere of the meeting.
2. The election of a new EWGLA Coordination Board member also took place during the EWGLA meeting: Serena Fugaro has replaced Carmela Piccolo in the board. We would like to thank Carmela for her valuable service and welcome Serena with best success wishes during her mandate.
3. Four early-career researchers have been granted support for attending EWGLA XXIX. We congratulate grantees Silvia Baldassarre (University of Bergamo), Bruna Figueiredo (University of Aveiro), Eduardo Pipicelli (University of Naples Federico II), and Sophia Wrede (RWTH Aachen) and look forward to sharing with you the video they will prepare in the upcoming days.
4. In the context of the 'Support for local or topic-specific meetings' call, the EWGLA board decided to support the “Novel methods and techniques in location science and their applications in problems with or without a facility location focus” workshop in CUNEF Universidad (Madrid, Spain) with up to 1000 Euros. This workshop is organized by Jesús María Pinar Pérez (CUNEF Universidad, Spain) and Diego Ruiz-Hernández (Sheffield University Management School). Further details are as follows:
• Workshop date: 17th of July 2024.
• Venue: CUNEF Universidad, Campus Leonardo Prieto Castro 2, Ciudad Universitaria, Madrid, Spain.
• Registration fee: No fees will be charged.
• Plenary Speakers: Justo Puerto Albandoz (Universidad de Sevilla, Spain) and Francisco Saldanha da Gama (Sheffield University Management School).
5. EWGLA board organized the Locational Analysis stream in the 33rd EURO Conference, held in Copenhagen between June 30 and July 3. This successful stream hosted 32 talks structured in 9 sessions addressing recent advances and important challenges in Locational Analysis (https://www.euro-online.org/conferences/program/#stream/29). We would like to thank all participants for their contributions!
Kind regards,

Dear locators,
These are my last hours as a board member, and I'd like to use them to
thank you for this great experience.
I feel very engaged with this community. I attended my first EWGLA
meeting in 2011 in Nantes as a first-year PhD student (my first
presentation at a conference), and many memories have been collected in
the following years. I have attended many editions, known many friends,
started new collaborations and initiated new students to location
analysis, who are now very …
[View More]enthusiastic to be part of this group. :)
I regret to have missed some meetings in the last years, but my period
in the board has overlapped (apart from the covid pandemic) with a
particular period of my life in which it was not so easy to travel
around. I hope to recover.
In particular, I would like to justify my absence from this meeting, but
very important personal motivations have forced me to cancel my
participation at the last moment. I would have never made this choice
with levity due to my role on the board.
Lastly, I take this occasion to wish the new board member all the best
and express my availability to continue supporting the board and
contributing to its activities as needed.
I hope to see you very soon,
Carmen

Dear Locators,
We received two applications for the succession of Carmela Piccolo:
Serena Fugaro and Antonio Diglio.
Please find their applications.
Having received two, we will hold a formal vote during the EWGLA session
in Sheffield ensuring anonymity and single vote casting. The details
will be announced during the EWGLA session.
Kind regards,
Carmen, Hatice and Diego

Dear locators,
This is a gentle reminder of the Workshop "Novel methods and techniques in location science and their applications in problems with or without a facility location focus" that Diego Ruiz-Hernández and I are organising about applications of facility location modes to problems which are not necessarily locational in nature.
Please remember that the deadline to confirm your attendance is on Tuesday 2nd of July. It is enough with sending us the title of your presentation and a mini-…
[View More]abstract briefly describing your contribution.
Please remember that we have EWGLA funding for partially supporting the participation of PhD students in case one of your students is also interested in participating. Also, remember that there is no registration fee for this event.
The workshop will be celebrated on the 17rth of July at CUNEF Campus in Madrid. Profs. Justo Puerto and Francisco Saldanha-da-Gamma will participate as guest speakers.
