The 24th European Conference on Operational Research, EURO XXIV, will be held at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon, FCUL.

This large conference is organized by EURO (The Association of European OR Societies) and APDIO (The Portuguese OR Society), with the support of FCUL and CIO (Operational Research Centre, Portugal).

The Programme and Organizing Committees, chaired by Silvano Martello and Jose Paixao, respectively, are preparing a high quality scientific programme and an exciting social programme for the Conference.

We hope that the unique yet heterogeneous character of seductive Lisbon will tempt you to come, and help turning this into a memorable event, both scientifically and socially.
