ROADEF jointly organises with the Association of European Operational Research Societies (EURO) the ROADEF/EURO Challenge. The 2020 challenge is dedicated to maintenance planning optimization problems in collaboration with (RTE).
This challenge is open to everyone, and particularly to young researchers, excluding people professionally involved with the industrial partners.
The goal of this challenge has multiple aspects.
Firstly, it allows some of our industrial partners to follow recent developments in the fields of Operations Research and Decision Analysis.
Secondly, through the junior category young researchers have the opportunity to face up to a complex industrial optimization problem. The challenge will give them an opportunity to explore the requirements and difficulties encountered in industrial applications. We hope that this challenge will help to establish a permanent partnership between manufacturers and young scientists on industrial-sized projects which require both high scientific qualification and the real-life practices in companies making use of decision analysis.
Thirdly, through the senior category, this challenge allows qualified researchers to demonstrate their knowledge and share their know-how and expertise on the practical problems. This also gives them the opportunity to establish partnerships with industrial companies.
Lastly, a scientific prize dedicated to qualitative submissions is proposed.
