Purpose of the Award
The Young Researchers Prize of the INFORMS Optimization Society was established in 1998 and is awarded annually at the fall INFORMS Annual Meeting to one or more young researcher(s) for an outstanding paper in optimization that is published in, or submitted to and accepted by, a refereed professional journal within the four calendar years preceding the year of the award. All authors must have earned their most recent degree within the eight calendar years preceding the year of award, or be enrolled in a degree-granting program. The prize serves as an esteemed recognition of promising colleagues who are at the beginning of their academic or industrial career. The award includes a cash amount of $3,000 and a citation certificate. The award winner(s) will be invited to give a fifteen minute presentation at the fall INFORMS Annual Meeting in the year the award is given. The winners will be responsible for all travel expenses associated with the presentation of their paper at the INFORMS meeting.
