The Montreal and Quebec OR community is extremely dynamic. Conferences, workshops, and many major scientific events are organized each year. Over the past 30 years, many companies have also developed around this community. Some of them have become world leaders while the youngest are already experiencing significant success.
Aiming at bringing the "industrial" community together, we organize, within the Optimization Days 2010, the first "Industrial optimization day".
As part of this day, several companies working in OR have agreed to present their activities, their projects and applications related to optimization, desirable or possible collaborations with the scientific community, and career opportunities for graduate students in OR. The first "Day of industrial optimization" will take place Tuesday, May 11, and it will include a networking lunch with the scientific community (professors and students) to be offered by the CORS chapters of Montreal and Quebec jointly with the RROM.
The following companies have confirmed their presence: Clear Destination, ExPretio, GIRO, Kronos, Modellium, Omega Optimisation, Simaco.
