ESI Location Science 2022

Scientific Program

Each invited expert will give a 90 minute presentation and each laureate will have 50 minutes to present their work (including questions).

The preliminary timetable for the core activities during the insitute is

We are very pleased to say that there will be a special issue of Computers & Operations Research covering the topics of the ESI and that selected papers of the Institute will be eligible for submission.
