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.

Who does it?

Our Researchers Database lists the interests and expertise of academics and practitioners by their research methods and application areas. It is a highly useful resource for:

  • Those considering a career in research
  • Connecting with researchers to work on collaborative projects
  • Facilitating networking between academics and practitioners

We also have some helpful resources from experienced OR researchers:
