Welcome to Analytics for X 2024

The Institute of Operations Research and Analytics (IORA), Department of Industrial Systems Engineering and Management (College of Design and Engineering) and Department of Analytics and Operations (NUS Business School) of the National University of Singapore are proud to jointly host the Analytics for X 2024 conference in conjunction with the  Next-Gen Scholars Symposium on 28-29 August 2024.

Analytics for X is an Annual Conference hosted by IORA that brings together researchers, educators, consultants, practitioners, and students to contribute to the Fourth Industrial Revolution conversation. After a successful international event in 2023 in Chongqing, China, this year, the conference is back in Singapore. As an annual event, the conference aims to promote the regular enhancement and dissemination of knowledge related to operations research and analytics, as well as efficient industrial practices.

During this year’s event, we are excited to announce the inaugural Next-Gen Scholars Symposium. This symposium, exclusive to PhD students, aims to recognize outstanding scholars in Analytics, Operations Research (OR) and Operations Management (OM) who are nearing the completion of their PhD, typically within a year or two. It is dedicated to honoring and accelerating the paths of outstanding young scholars who find themselves at a pivotal stage in their academic journey. The symposium will feature the groundbreaking research of these emerging scholars, and offer them a platform to engage with and learn from the Analytics & OR/OM community, as well as efficient industrial practices through networking opportunities. 

If you are an eligible PhD student, we welcome you to apply for the Next-Gen Scholar’s Symposium. Otherwise, we encourage your participation in the Analytics for X by submitting an extended abstract.

Note that the Submissions for Analytics for X and the Next-Gen Scholar’s Symposium will undergo separate review processes.

We have planned an exciting line up of Keynote speakers and local and International presentations. The Event will be followed by the IORA Industry Day on the 30th August 2024, and will provide more opportunity to network and collaborate with local Industries.

With the slew of activities planned around the conference, we are excited to invite you to join us for the talks and especially highlight the new programs and collaboration opportunities that the event will offer.
