This section of the site is devoted to information regarding doctoral studies, in particular two of its facets:

1. The announcement of PhD courses which satisfy four criteria:

• The course is concentrated in time, preferably with only one session, typically 1 to 2 weeks. We will not post “each-Monday-at-2” courses.
• Costs are nominal for outside students, that is, this is not for profit-oriented courses.
• At least some outside students must be accepted. This is not meant to be for internal courses open only to own students. On the other hand, it is fully acceptable that participation is competitive and that participation hence is limited.
• The courses are within OR in a wide sense.

2. The announcement of PhD positions. This is NOT for general advertisements for doctoral programs, only for openings with competitive access to funding.

All submissions are to be made to Stein.W.Wallace@lancaster.ac.uk. Professor Wallace is International liaison for Europe and Africa and PhD Director at The Department of Management Science, Lancaster University Management School, UK.
