ORSNZ Conference 2022

This is a reminder that the ORSNZ conference 2022 is being held at the University of Auckland on the 28th and 29th of November, and the deadline for abstracts (October 24) is fast approaching.

In addition to the standard sessions, the conference will have two clusters of talks run by our interest groups:
– OSHA will run a cluster on health modelling.
– ENR will run a cluster on the integration of hydrogen into energy systems.

Both of these clusters will have a keynote presentation and panel discussion.

If you wish to present within one of these clusters, indicate this at the end of your abstract submission.

Note the deadline for early-bird registrations is Monday, October 31.

APORS 2022 now a hybrid conference (Abstracts due 10 June)

The Asia-Pacific Operations Research Societies (APORS) triennial conference in Manila on 9-12 November 2022 is now a hybrid virtual and in-person event.

The theme of the conference is Onwards to Recovery though Operations Research, so presentations around recovery from the panademic are encouraged, but this is not a requirement for acceptance.

The abstract submission due date is 10 June 2022, and the early-bird deadline for registration is August 12.

To submit your abstract visit https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=apors2022, and visit http://apors.org for more information.
