****************************************************

The 24th Conference of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies


12-17 July 2026, Vienna, Austria


Data Science meets Optimization stream

****************************************************


The Data Science meets Optimization working group has been operational since 2016. It brings together researchers from domains such Operations Research, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science to achieve joint progress. The working group has been active in conferences in each of the domains and has organized two EURO PhD schools. Very important have been the successful streams at EURO and IFORS where scientists could discuss their most recent progress.


You are invited to submit to the DSO stream at IFORS 2026 in Vienna, Austria<https://ifors2026.at/program/>.<https://ifors2026.at/program/> <https://ifors2026.at/program/>


The call for papers is open. We presently welcome 9 sessions, thanks to the organisers! Please use the code of the session you would like to submit to. Alternatively, should you be interested in organizing your own session, please contact one of the organizers.


You will be very welcome, and as always, we will enjoy the discussion.
