the complexities characterizing most of operations research applications, trans-disciplinary collaboration is often required to attain efficient solutions and to formulate innovative answers to the increasing challenges in practice. Hence, the goal of the
conference is to stimulate an academic exchange of recent developments as well as to encourage the mutual influence between academics and practitioners. For further information, please visit the official conference website: https://www.ic-ora.org/</span></div>
