The Operations Management and Logistics Conference is a two-day event jointly organized by the Research School Beta, the Research School TRAIL, and the research institute ERIM, and sponsored by TKI Dinalog. Taking place on 21 and 22 May, this biannual conference aims to foster the academic Operations Management and Logistics (OML) community in the Netherlands and Flanders and is open to all who are interested.
The conference offers an engaging program, including two plenary lectures by leading scholars, nine parallel sessions covering a broad range of research topics and methodologies within OML, and a panel discussion on Operations Management in defense. In addition, plenty of time is scheduled between sessions to encourage networking and the exchange of ideas among participants.
