5th IMA and OR Society Conference on Mathematics of Operational Research, Birmingham (UK)

We are delighted to invite you to the 5th biennial joint conference of the Institute of Mathematics and Its Applications (IMA) and the UK Operational Research Society, which will take place in Birmingham from the 30th of April to the 2nd of May 2025.

Building on the success of the four previous conferences (held in 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023) this biennial event will aim to draw together the considerable community of researchers and practitioners who use and / or develop innovative mathematics and data driven approaches, relevant to the applications and theory of Operational Research (OR).

The conference will be held at the beautiful and easily accessible Conference Centre Aston in Birmingham and will showcase activities from across all areas of OR. We welcome contributions that are empirically motivated and with a focus on application, as well as those that are theoretically driven. The conference will host plenaries from leading international experts, sessions of themed talks, as well as poster sessions, and will provide plenty of opportunities for networking. We look forward to seeing you in Birmingham in April 2025 for a terrific event and to celebrate together the successes of OR!
