This scholarship is instituted in memory of Donald Hicks OBE, a major contributor to operational research and the first Treasurer of The OR Society, who died in January 1986.
It is designed to enable a ‘young’ OR Society member with at least two years’ working experience of operational research to attend and present a paper at a EURO-k or IFORS Triennial Conference.
Deadline is 3 March. Entries should be submitted by email unless infeasible. Please send entries to [email protected].
It is current practice that announcements relating to the Donald Hicks Scholarships shall be published on the Society’s website as well as in Inside OR.
We are pleased to announce that the 2026 Donald Hicks Scholarship has been awarded to Tom Murarik. Tom will be attending IFORS, presenting his paper titled ‘Parallelised Metaheuristics for Large-Scale Network Simulation.’ We wish Tom all the best!
