President's Medal 2004
Submit your entry now!
The President’s Medal is one of The OR Society’s most prestigious awards, and we’re inviting entries for the 2004 competition.
The President’s Medal is awarded for the best practical application of OR submitted to the competition (a wide definition of OR is used). Entries are welcomed from both academics and industry based OR workers and consultants. One of the main qualifications for entry is that the work has been implemented before submission.
Criteria for judging include:
· The level of demonstrable benefit
· The intellectual and novel content of the solution
· The likely longevity of the solution
· The excellence of the OR process
Entry couldn’t be simpler! You need only to provide a short summary of the work (< 750 words), concentrating on the criteria listed above and listing the team members. It is important that you submit with your entry an endorsement by the client of your work..
Entries will be short listed and those selected will be invited to present their work at the OR conference. A panel of judges will determine the outcome with guidance from conference delegates. The winner will be announced at the end of the conference. In addition to receiving the medal, winners will be entitled to use a special ‘medal winners’ graphic on their stationery and promotional materials.
All the short listed entries will receive the support of the Society’s ‘house’ journalist to develop and publish an article based on the project.
Entries to the Secretary and General Manager, The OR Society, Seymour House, 12 Edward Street, Birmingham B1 2RX, UK by 31 March 2004
