The OR Societies of Italy and the UK are pleased to announce a EURO Summer
Winter Institute (ESWI) in June 2014 on the theme "Operational Research applied
to health in a modern world".

Theme:
OR modelling for healthcare has developed with the complexities of the modern world.
Health Care Systems (HCS) are often awash with data but managers are unable to
benefit while concerned only with trouble-shooting.
Furthermore, HCS should reflect a patient centered and societal perspective focusing
on outcomes rather than only on output. ESWI Health 2014 will bring together those
issues proposing new modelling and solution techniques to aid decision makers in
the fields of health and disease management, patient flow and all aspects of optimal
use of scarce resources.

Dates:
ESWI will be held during one of the following periods:
From 04 to 13 June 2014
From 11 to 20 June 2014
Dates will be announced later and defined in order to maximize the participation of
international speakers.

Important dates:
- 31st July 2013: deadline for expressions of interest.
- 1st February 2014: deadline for submission of applications.
- 1st March 2014: selection of Candidates by Scientific Committee and communication
to the National OR Societies.
- 31st October 2014: submission of final versions of papers for publication in the special
issue.

Expressions of interest:
Expressions of interest are now being sought in order to assess the likely number of
participants. Please email

vitae. The committee will select and rank the candidates on the basis of submitted papers,
and afterwards channel this information to the national OR societies for funding decisions.
