Dear APORS member society presidents and leaders,
I am pleased to invite nominations for the 2026 APORS Young Researcher Best Paper Awards. These awards aim to enhance recognition and communication among APORS member societies, foster dialogue among young operations research scholars in the region, and provide a platform for showcasing their most recent research achievements. Through this initiative, we hope to promote collaborative exchanges and establish new academic connections across APORS member societies.
The awards are presented in three categories: Theoretical Research Award, Applied Practice Award, and Collaborative Progress Award. These categories are designed to encourage excellence in both theoretical and applied research, as well as to promote collaboration between researchers from different APORS member societies. For your reference, the guidelines for the awards, including eligibility criteria and nomination requirements, are attached.
Each society may nominate at most twelve candidates, born after 30 July 1986, with four nominations in each category. All candidates nominated by a society will be listed as finalists and will be required to present their work at the 2026 APORS Youth Forum.
Please compile your society’s nomination materials into a single ZIP file and submit them to me no later than 10 August 2026. The Best Paper Awards will be announced during the 2026 APORS Youth Forum, which will be held in Singapore in November 2026.
Thank you for your kind cooperation and support.
Best regards,
Honglei
