Welcome to the webpage of the 21st Conference of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies. We are delighted to host the IFORS 2017 conference under the theme of “OR/Analytics for a better world”. The conference will be held between July 17-21, 2017 in Quebec City, the capital of the province of Quebec, Canada.

Quebec City is a dynamic and modern French-speaking North American city with a unique “Old France” charm. The program committee is committed to preparing a high quality scientific program with diverse participants sharing their vision, knowledge and experience of operational research and analytics.

The venue is the Quebec International Convention Center, conveniently located in the heart of Quebec City and one of Canada’s top convention destinations with renowned hospitality and exceptional service, cutting-edge technology and creative cuisine inspired by the rich culinary traditions of North America’s fine dining capital.

We thereby invite you to participate to IFORS 2017 and be part of the great IFORS community by organizing a session, giving a talk, or meeting new and old friends and colleagues!
