About this event
Join us to talk about inspiring examples of synergies arising across fields, where multiple disciplines amplify each other.‘OR in Collaboration’ is the 5th annual conference organised by the EURO Practitioners’ Forum. This series of conferences aims to bring together professionals, experts, and thought leaders to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and discuss the latest advancements in the field of Operations Research. The theme of this year’s conference is the Collaboration of Operations Research practitioners with practitioners from other fields, like Machine Learning, Econometrics, Simulation, etc. We want to talk about inspiring examples of synergies arising across fields, where multiple disciplines amplify each other in the ultimate quest to deliver impact on business, society, economics, and human lives in general. Speakers are also invited to share their experiences of difficulties they have encountered with such multi-disciplinary collaboration and any insights or strategies on how to address these.
Objectives
Knowledge Exchange: Facilitate the exchange of cutting-edge knowledge and practical insights among practitioners in the field. More particularly, we want attendees to become curious about cross-discipline exchange.
Networking: Provide a platform for professionals to build meaningful connections, fostering collaboration and partnerships within the industry and academy.
Professional Development: Offer opportunities for attendees to enhance their skills, stay updated on industry trends, and gain practical knowledge to improve their performance in their respective roles.
We invite submissions, which showcase successful collaboration examples of Operations Research with other fields and look forward to insightful discussions and networking opportunities with practitioners from various fields.
