75th Anniversary of The OR Society

In the world of decision-making, optimisation, and problem-solving, one organisation stands tall, having contributed significantly to various fields: The Operational Research Society (The OR Society).

As it celebrates its remarkable 75th anniversary, our esteemed society deserves to be commended for our relentless pursuit of excellence in advancing operational research and its profound impact on shaping a better future for industries, governments, and society as a whole.

This timeline video showcases all our highlights. From the very beginning of the OR club, through to the formation of the official society and our many events, groups, and celebrations in between. The Society would be nothing without its many members, and we would like to thank all of you for your continued support throughout the years.
