WISDOM Research
WISDOM Survey
The WISDOM Forum is conducting a research to explore the participation in OR (sub-)disciplines by gender, to identify potential challenges to participation, and to create insights into different academic career paths. We wish to understand the career paths of men and women. The responses will contribute not only to our research, but toward shaping Equality, Diversity and Inclusion within the wider EURO community.
Publications by WISDOM
We are happy to announce our publications:
"Gender Equality: Opportunities and Challenges for the OR Community”
"Promoting Gender Equality and Inclusivity in EURO Activities"
