No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Influence the development of the field of operations research! Join Professor Richard C. Larson, the new President-Elect of INFORMS and an MIT professor, for a two-day seminar about the direction of operations research. The first session will consist of a presentation about the empirically-based model-focused origins of OR and how we can gain perspective on the field by returning to our roots and examining the original goals and methods of the physicists who founded it. The second session will include brainstorming and presentations by participants with ideas of how to revitalize the study and practice of OR.
