Dear IFORS Member Societies,

*Call for Participation in ELAVIO XXIII, Lleida, Spain*

*July 1-5, 2019*

IFORS is pleased to announce the travel-sponsorship of one participant 
to join the XXIII ELAVIO - Latin- American Summer School in Operations 
Research.
The ELAVIOs are schools supported by ALIO (the Latin- Iberoamerican 
Association of Operations Research) and mainly are addressed to young 
researchers and postgraduate students (both at the PhD and master level) 
from Latin-Iberoamerican countries. However, Ph.D. students from all 
over the world with excellent skills and special interest in the areas 
of Operations Research, Informatics, and Applied Mathematics are also 
welcome to apply.
ELAVIO XXIII will be held in 2019 in Spain from July 1st to July 5th, in 
Lleida located between Barcelona (160 km) and Madrid (450 km). Lleida is 
a Spanish city having the oldest University foundation in Catalonia and 
the third oldest of Spain. In addition, it is a touristic destination 
for skiing in the Pyrenees and visiting the Boi Valley hosting an 
important concentration of Romanic style churches (Humanity heritage 
recognition). The event will be held at the University of Lleida, in the 
Cappont Campus, by the river Segre crossing the city.

Registration for ELAVIO XXIII and the Opening Ceremony will take place 
on Sunday, June 30^th at the student’s Residence located in the same 
Campus where participants will have accommodation. Over the following 5 
days, a range of mini-courses and tutorials on advanced topics of 
specific interest will all be held at the Faculty of Law, Economics and 
Tourism. Closing Ceremony will take place on Friday afternoon.
Research topics of the school include, but are not limited to:

  * Combinatorial optimization; linear, nonlinear and integer programming.
  * Stochastic optimisation, stochastic processes and probabilistic models.
  * Metaheuristics and its applications.
  * Discrete, continuous and agent based simulation.
  * Big data analytics and related OR methods.
  * Applications of operational research to problem solving in areas
    such as sustainability, health care, logistics, sports,
    agroindustry, engineering, telecommunications, finance and
    production, big data, cutting and packing problems.

The official languages of the school are: English, Spanish and 
Portuguese. Talks and lectures will be in either of the languages (in 
all the cases with English slides). Candidates selected MUST be 
proficient in both English and Spanish or Portuguese.
