We are very pleased to advertise the *EURO PhD School on Multiple Criteria
Decision Making: Methodologies and Applications to the Sustainable
Development Goals*, which will take place at the University of Málaga,
Spain, from November 4-15, 2024.
This EURO PhD School will focus on giving participants advanced training on
Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and its application to the
commitment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There will be a
methodological and an applied component to this EPS. Methodological
training on different state-of-the-art MCDM methods, applications, and
software will be given in the format of lectures. In these lectures, the
participants will interact with some of the top scholars in the area, and
conduct hands-on exercises/cases for discrete and continuous optimization.
Applications of the acquired knowledge to the modeling of specific case
studies related to the SDGs will be presented and worked out by the
participants in working groups, where they will work under the guidance of
the instructors. The main results reached by the working groups will be
presented at the end of the summer school. Although the priority is for PhD
students, Master's students may also be admitted. This is a great
opportunity for beginner researchers in this field to network among
themselves and with the lecturers, and initiate collaborations and
friendships that may continue for many years. The training of the EURO PhD
School is eligible for 3 ECTS (75 hours).
This EURO PhD School aims to introduce students to discrete and continuous
Multiple Criteria Decision Making problems. To this end, the contents are
as follows:
* Basic Concepts on Multiple Criteria Decision Making
* Discrete Multicriteria methods: MAUT, AHP, and outranking methods
* Continuous problems: generating the efficient set
* Goal programming
* Interactive methods
Each student will have to present a poster describing the main lines of
research of their thesis project during the EURO PhD School.
