OR in the 3rd Sector Stream

COVID-19 has impacted organisations across the globe, and the third sector has been no exception.

13:00 - 14:00 | Tuesday 15 September 2020

This stream offers an insightful examination of how COVID-19 has affected the third sector. Two speakers will share their perspective: one giving an overview of the state of the sector, the other presenting the view from inside one particular charity.

The stream will end by inviting the audience to join the discussion about how OR can help. This session will be of interest to anybody interested in the practical consequences of COVID for a substantial sector of the economy, and how OR and analytics can help. If you work with an organisation in the third sector, or if you're a Pro Bono volunteer, you will find the on-the-ground knowledge shared in this stream especially valuable.

Talks:
