Optimization Prize for Young Researchers
Purpose of the Award
The Optimization Prize for Young Researchers, established in 1998 and administered by the Optimization Section of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences, is awarded annually at the INFORMS Fall National Meeting to one (or more) young researchers for the most outstanding paper in optimization that is submitted to or published in a refereed professional journal. The prize serves as an esteemed recognition of promising colleagues who are at the beginning of their academic or industrial career.
The Optimization award includes a cash amount of US$1,000 and a citation certificate. The award winners will be invited to give a fifteen minute presentation of the winning paper at the Optimization Section Business Meeting held during the INFORMS Fall National Meeting in the year the award is made. It is expected that the winners will be responsible for the travel expenses to present the paper at the INFORMS meeting.
