The OR Society

The Operational Research Society is the home of the operational research and analytics community.

We are?a member-led organisation supporting professional operational researchers across industries and academia.?We promote the understanding and use of operational research in all areas of life, including industry, business, government, health and education. The society is a registered charity which does everything from helping OR specialists push the boundaries of the discipline through publications and events to undertaking outreach work aimed at helping everyone from business leaders to schoolchildren find out about the benefits of OR.

Our activities are listed in full in the What We Do area, with this space detailing our committee structure, organisational history and current personnel.?The society truly is led by our members - so if you join and help direct what we do for the profession, please get in touch!
