Workshop on OR for Developing Countries
---
Young Researchers’ and PhD Symposium
Prague, Czech Republic ..7th July 2007
Background
Foundation of the working group is based on the following challenges
• How to integrate young people from both the developed and the developing countries, despite their differences in academic background and origin of country for this common idea.
• How can the knowledgeable and experienced researchers / scientists share or contribute their expertise to the younger researchers or the less experienced researchers.
• How will the knowledgeable and experienced researchers / scientists benefit from the exchange of ideas and collaboration.
• How can the issue of sustainability be included in the consideration of research programmes.
• How can education and continuous learning be organized, e.g., in conferences and workshops, on local, national and international stages.
• How can the engagement and participation of the young people become well embedded into their academical and professional preparations and lifelines.
• How can EURO Working Group Operational Research for Development give further impulses and stimulation to the international collaboration and network among other groups and institutions which share our group’s goals and devotion.
Aim of the Workshop
The international workshop is being organized by the EURO Working Group on OR for development directly before the EURO2007 meeting.
The workshop aims to bring together researchers from a range of countries. It intends to be a forum for the exchange and for the discussion of current research, issues or trends.
As well as an opportunity to present current research, there will also be the opportunity of have ‘research conversations’ - which are intensive discussions - with senior academics.
Areas of interest
We welcome researchers doing PhDs on any aspect of development, but with a focus on developing countries, i.e., the problem is related to a country defined as low- and middle-income countries in which most people have a lower standard of living with access to fewer goods and services than do most people in high-income countries.
Topics could include.
o Distribution Problem and Transportation
o Infrastructure planning
o Health care
o Natural disasters
o Employment and Migration
o Good governance
o Energy
o Sustainability
