OVERVIEW
Young OR is a conference, organised biennially by The OR Society, the UK's
Operational Research Society, and intended for academics and practitioners
within the first 10 years of their careers in O.R.. Parallel streams of
talks are interspersed with presentations from plenary and keynote speakers.

Participants have the opportunity to present their work to peers in a
supportive environment, while learning about how O.R. techniques have been
used in a wide range of applications. The learning and networking
environment provides a great opportunity to meet fellow O.R. practitioners
and facilitates sharing of best practice. Attendees can learn about new
areas where O.R. can make an impact.

CALL FOR PAPERS AND IMPORTANT DATES
There are a number of streams and we are now inviting speakers to sign up.
