VRP2013: EUROPEAN SPRING SCHOOL ON VEHICLE ROUTING
CALL FOR PARTICIPATIONS
We are happy to invite you to participate on VRP2013: European Spring School on Vehicle Routing. VRP2013
is a one-week, full-immersion institute gathering Ph.D. students and young researchers working on the field
of vehicle routing. The academic program is made up of 4 academic modules and 2 workshops. In addition to
the academic program, the spring school includes an active social program conceived to help participants
developing personal links that may foster future academic collaborations. The spring school will be hosted
by the Institute of Applied Mathematics (IMA) of Université Catholique de l'Ouest in Angers (France) from
May 20 to May 24, 2013.
The spring school is open to all Ph.D. students completing a dissertation on vehicle routing and
young researchers working on the field. Participants are invited to present their research in poster
sessions during the coffee breaks. Presenting a poster is not mandatory. Participants should apply for a
place at the spring school before January 30, 2013. The number of participants is limited. Places will
be assigned according to a FIFO discipline giving priority to Ph.D. students and participants presenting
a poster. Participants from outside Europe are welcome to apply.
PROGRAM
May 20: Implementation aspects on vehicle routing. Victor Pillac (NICTA, Australia)
May 21: Applications of vehicle routing. Daniele Vigo (Universitàt di Bologna, Italy)
May 22: Metaheuristics for vehicle routing. Christian Prins (Université de Technologie de Troyes, France)
May 23: Column generation-based approaches for vehicle routing. Dominique Feillet (École de Mines de Saint-Etienne, France)
May 24: Solution approches for stochastic vehicle routing problems. Michel Gendreau (École Polytechnique de Montréal, Canada)
IMPORTANT DATES:
31 Jan. 2013: deadline for applications
16 Feb. 2013: notification for acceptance
15 Mar. 2013: early bird registration deadline
REGISTRATION FEES:
Early registration: 150EUR
Late registration: 200EUR
ORGANIZERS:
VRP2013 is organized by the Groupe Ligérien en Recherche Opérationnelle (LigéRO). The spring
school is part of the scientific agenda of LigéRO, Groupe de Travail en Transport et Logistique (GT2L) of
GDR-RO (CNRS GdR 3002), and EURO working group on Vehicle Routing and Logistics Optimization (VeRoLog).
