Faculty & Research

FR - AA - TOM - Conference

Welcome

This conference will bring together an international group of academics, faculty and PhD students, coming mostly from European business schools and interested in Technology & Operations Management (TOM). The purpose of the conference is to feature the latest research from European researchers in the field of TOM and to develop and strengthen relationships among these research groups.

The conference will feature research of the type that appears in journals such as Management Science, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, and Operations Research. The conference will have a single track of 30-min presentations, half of which will be given by professors. Presentation of working papers is encouraged to receive early feedback.

The intent is to organise this conference on a yearly basis and to rotate its organization among 2-3 business schools that are centrally located in Europe.

Attendance to this conference is by invitation only.
