The first APORS Young Researcher Best Paper Competition was held in October 2023. A total of 15 submissions were received from 6 member societies. Six senior experts were invited to judge the submissions, and ultimately, three Best Papers were selected （see the attachment for the final results）.
The Second APORS Best Paper Award Competition will be held in Hangzhou, China, in November 2024. The presentations for the best paper awards will take place during the 14th APORS Annual Conference, where outstanding papers across three tracks: Theoretical Research Award, Applied Practice Award, and Collaborative Progress Award, will be selected on-site.
The Young Researcher Best Papers awarded by APORS will promote recognition and exchange among member societies and enhance communication among young operations research researchers within the region. The award provides an opportunity for young researchers in the Asia-Pacific region to present their latest achievements and aims to foster collaborative exchanges and create new academic connections among the member societies of APORS.
Now we call for nominations from our 13 APORS member societies for the 2024 APORS Young Researcher Best Paper Awards. Attached is the guidelines for the awards, eligibility, and requirements.
Deadline of the submission for the 2024 Awards is set to September 15, 2024.
Notice that from 2024, the APORS Best Paper Award Competition will be organized by the APORS Youths Activity Group (APYAG) and the reviewing procedure will be guided by APORS officers.
Thank you for your cooperation!
