Bem vindos / Welcome
Welcome to IO2018!

We are looking forward to welcome you!
The Organizing Committee
Objetivos e âmbito / Aims and scope
Operational Research is an applied science that brings to decision making activities the attitude and methods of science. It aims at helping public authorities, enterprises and other organizations to improve their decision processes and to obtain better results. The Portuguese Operational Research (APDIO) promotes multiple activities to develop and to disseminate Operational Research, which include the APDIO Congress as a flagship event.
The XIX Congress of APDIO will be, once again, our main event for professionals, researchers, educators and students interested in Operational Research, or simply willing to learn more about this exciting area. We shall learn, exchange stories of success and failure, socialize, and start new collaborations. During the congress the winners will be announced for the Augusto Queiróz Novais Award (best paper on Process Systems Engineering published in 2017) and the APDIO/IO2018 Award (best PhD dissertation defended in 2017). Having students in mind, a new edition of EstudIO will be organized. This is a forum integrated in this congress dedicated to the presentation of selected work from undergraduate and masters students.
Once again, our congress intends to reach society at large, debating the added value that Operational Research can bring to industrial, services, governmental, and other organisations. It also intends to reach international participants, accepting communications in English language.
We look forward to returning to Aveiro, more than two decades after the successful XII Congress of APDIO. We shall witness again the excellent conditions that the city, its university, and its people offer for this meeting. We are thankful to the Organizing Committee for their hard work in organizing this event.
We have excellent reasons to be together at the XIX Congress of APDIO and we wait for you!
