IFORS brings together national research societies from over 45 countries and has been holding its conference every three years since 1957. The event we are hosting this week was confirmed in 2011 after an application was submitted in Melbourne, Australia, by professors Angel Ruiz<\/a> and Ir\u00e8ne Abi-Zeid<\/a>, both from Universit\u00e9 Laval\u2019s Operations and Decision Systems Department, as well as Professor Bernard Gendron, from the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al Computer Science and Operational Research Department. Professor Abi-Zeid is the chair of the event organizing committee.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
