IFORS Conferences include national contributions from member Societies. It is the practice of The OR Society to support distinguished scholars selected to present National Contributions on behalf of the United Kingdom.
The award will be made to the author(s) of up to three extended abstract(s) which, in the judgement of the Awards Panel, will lead to the paper(s) of the highest merit.
The Awards Panel may make no award if none of the abstracts submitted is of sufficient merit. Merit will be assessed on the basis of both a contribution to the development of the subject, and a proper representation of good OR in the UK.
It is current practice that announcements relating to the National Contributions to IFORS shall be published on the society’s website as well as in Inside OR.
