Subject: EthOR Award late warning



*LATE WARNING on the « /EthOR Award 2013/» *

The */EthOR/ /Award/* is organised by the EURO Working Group on "Ethics
and OR", a network that gathers scientists, lecturers and professionals
in the field of Operational Research who are committed to inspire OR
researchers, teachers, students, consultants and decision-makers to
integrate ethical aspects and considerations in their OR research,
teaching, consultancy and decision-making (info:

The purpose of this award is to distinguish an *outstanding Master's
Thesis or PhD Dissertation* promoting ethical dimensions in OR-based
studies. Our aim is to encourage young researchers, as members of the
future generation of managers and decision-makers, in developing and
implementing Operations Research techniques for solving contemporary
problems presenting ethical dimensions. Many fields of application may
be considered like energy, environment, health care, peace studies,
economics, CSR, finance and others...

The /EthOR/ /Award/ will be awarded for the first time at the EURO-2013

accompanying letter where the academic supervisor(s) should evidence why
this work is recommended for the /EthOR Award/. Both the extended
abstract and accompanying letter should be sent electronically (pdf)
*BEFORE APRIL 5^th * *2013 *to Professor Cristóbal Miralles
<*[log in to unmask]*> Chair of the EURO Working Group and president
of the Award Selection Committee.

The selected *finalists* will be requested to present their work in a
special session of the EWG Stream held during the conference, and will
receive an official *certificate of excellence* in developing OR
techniques and/or applications contributing to ethical decision-making.

The *winner *will get a cash prize of *500EUR* and full *reimbursement*
of the *registration&gala dinner fees* at the EURO-2013 conference, and
will be also cordially *honoured as Keynote speaker* for the next event
of the EWG on "Ethics and OR" after the EURO-2013 conference.

*Entry requirements*

Thesis (MT) or a Doctoral Dissertation (DD) officially approved *during
the last four years* before the deadline(after 5^th April 2009) and best
complying with this purpose.
