APORS Youth Forum 2025 – Calling all young researchers!
The APORS Youth Forum 2025 provides an opportunity for young researchers from across the APORS (Association of Asia-Pacific Operational Research Societies) and other regions of IFORS (International Federation of Operational Research Societies) to interact with their peers and more established OR scientists. The IFORS Tutorial Lecture will be given by Prof. Yinyu Ye of Stanford University. APORS Youth Forum will be held in Hong Kong on 29 November 2025.
Young OR researchers (postgraduate students, postdocs, early-career) are cordially invited to present their on-going or recently completed work at the Forum. Abstracts (of no more than 400 words) can be submitted via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/cfp/APORS-YF2025. Deadline for submission: 30 September 2025.
