Research
The OR Society has a Research Committee, which is responsible for
developing and nurturing new operational research (OR) funding opportunities, establishing
collaborative research relationships, and influencing government STEM
and leading research bodies. The committee meets on a quarterly basis
and is composed of members with significant national and international
research experience.
What is it?
Operational research encompasses a wide range of problem-solving
techniques and methods applied in the pursuit of improved
decision-making. Research in OR, therefore, spans theoretical
developments underpinning OR techniques through to research on practical
applications. Consequently, OR research is often undertaken in
collaboration between academia and industry.
