2. The 18th Conference on Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization (IPCO XVIII) at the University of Liège, Belgium.

June 1st to June 3rd, 2016

The IPCO conference is under the auspices of the Mathematical Optimization Society.
The call for papers is now open. Deadline : 20 November 2015

 3. The 30th Annual conference of the Belgian Operational Research Society UCL-CORE,

January 28-29, 2016

About the conference

ORBEL is the national conference of the SOGESCI-BVWB, the Belgian Operational Research (OR) Society, Member of EURO, the association of European OR Societies, and Belgian representative of IFORS (International Federation of OR Societies).

The conference is intended as a meeting place for researchers, users and potential users of Operational Research, Statistics, Computer Science and related fields. It will provide managers, practitioners and researchers with a unique opportunity to exchange information on quantitative techniques for decision making.

This year’s meeting (ORBEL30) will take place in the city of Louvain-la-Neuve at UCL.
