4th IMA and OR Society Conference on Mathematics of Operational Research

Thursday 27 April - Friday 28 April 2023

Conference Aston, Birmingham

The IMA and OR Society Conference showcases activities from across OR, and will welcome both contributions which have a clear application focus as well as those which are theoretically driven.

Building on 2021's event this conference will aim to draw together our considerable community of researchers and practitioners who develop and use innovative mathematics, relevant to the applications and theory of Operational Research.

Call for Posters

Papers will be considered for the conference based on a 300-word abstract for poster presentation. Posters are encouraged particularly from PhD students, and a prize for the best poster presentation will be awarded.

Abstracts should be submitted by Friday 3 February 2023

Accessibility

The IMA, The OR Society, and the conference committee strongly support diversity and inclusion. All supporting documents can be found on the IMA website.

All are invited to take part in the conference. As part of raising awareness and improving understanding of the different barrier’s individuals face, we would like to invite session leaders (and individual speakers) to include as part of their presentation(s) their own experiences of achievement, inclusion, and exclusion.

A pack for delegates will include details on the venue's disability access, baby changing facilities, the nearby Martin Luther King multi-faith prayer centre, and information on where to find details on local creches, transport links and other local amenities. We also welcome special requests and will accommodate them where possible.
