Call for contributions: 4th conference of the EURO Practitioners' Forum

When: 20 and 21 April 2023
Where: Zuse Institute Berlin, Germany
What: OR as a resilient technology: How OR reacts and adapts to disruptive changes and future challenges

We cordially invite you to contribute to our discussions at the 4th conference of the EURO Practitioners' Forum.

During this event, we want to explore the use of OR techniques in unpredictable situations that cause disruptive changes to established processes. Crises might result from political or economic events, natural disasters, or social upheaval. Technological advances such as AI techniques or Quantum Computing can
also induce radical changes.

We invite submissions on subjects that showcase the use of OR techniques when facing disruptive changes, explaining how existing solutions could be adapted or which new solutions have been developed to cope with previously unforeseen challenges.

Please send your (maximum of) 1-page abstract in MS Word or PDF format to
ewgporberlin@zib.de .
Submission extended deadline: 15 January 2023
