First Call for Papers - EURO 2021 31st European Conference on Operational Research (EURO XXXI), Athe

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

https://euro2021athens.com/

We have the great pleasure of inviting you to take part in the 31st EURO
conference to be held in Athens.

The Program Committee, chaired by Rudolf Vetchera, and the Organizing
Committee, co-chaired by Nikolaos Matsatsinis and John Psarras, are
preparing a high-quality scientific program and an exciting social program
for the Conference.

After a year of lockdowns and limited travel, we are optimistic that the
EURO 2021 Conference will again provide an excellent opportunity for the OR
community to meet in person in a city that in a unique way stands for the
identity of Europe. EURO 2021 acknowledges that virtual conferences can't
entirely replicate the conference experience, which normally involves face
to face meetings and networking opportunities. However, Euro 2021 is fully
prepared to adjust its strategy in case of any similar situation and to
convert the physical congress to a hybrid or virtual one, with the main
objective that the new format will continue to meet the needs of the EURO
2021 community and to ensure a viable future for the association's
activities in scientific education and professional support. Registered
participants will still be eligible to participate, authors whose abstracts
were accepted will be published in the digital abstract book, with
e-posters available for virtual consultation and industry to have a wide
selection of sponsorship opportunities.

PLENARY, KEYNOTE & TUTORIAL SPEAKERS:

We have selected several outstanding Plenaries & Tutorial Speakers that
will present the state-of-the-art in Operations Research and outline
pathways of its future developments. More information on speakers and their
presentations will be announced soon. Please follow up further information
at the EURO 2021 Conference webpage:
https://euro2021athens.com/.

CALL FOR PAPERS AND SESSIONS:

Researchers, academics, practitioners, and students interested in any
branch of Operational Research, mathematical modelling or economic analysis
are invited to submit abstracts or organize sessions.

Invited and contributed papers will be organized in parallel sessions. In
general, sessions will be a part of the Conference streams, and streams are
grouped in different areas. The list of areas and streams will be available
shortly.

Abstract submission system is available online, via the Conference web page
(https://euro2021athens.com/).

Abstracts must be written in English and contain no more than 1,500
characters in plain text format (no formulas are allowed). Submission
