IFORS : ORSIS 2025 conference review [Forthcoming]

The 2025 ORSIS Annual Conference was held on May 5th-6th at the Tel Aviv University.

The conference was attended by 106 registered participants, including 33 students.

A rich and fascinating scientific program was presented, which comprised:

• 87 scientific lectures in 23 parallel sessions, across all areas of Operations Research.

• Semi-plenary lectures, delivered by Ricky Roet-Green, Efrat Perel, Galit-Yom Tov and Nicol Adler.

• An expert Panel session on OR in the age of AI.

• A plenary lecture by Noam Nisan, concerning Blockchain Fees.

• The Naor lecture by Andrea Lodi of Cornell-Tech, on MILP and AI.

The Uriel Rothblum award was granted in the conference to Eliran Sherzer and Yehezkel Resheff, and the Abraham Mehrez Prize was granted to Arsenii Shmelev, a graduate student advised by Noa Zychlinski.

A moving ceremony was held to honor Nilly Schnapp, the ORSIS administrative coordinator for many years, organized by Gad Rabinowitz and in the presence of her family (the book dedicated to Nilly can be viewed HERE). 

The social evening program was held in a different and refreshing format this time, featuring a rooftop drumming session, with the Tel-Aviv sunset in the background. 

All in all, the conference was most successful and memorable in every aspect.

We look forward to seeing you in next year's conference!
