The Gesellschaft für Operations Research e.V. is committed to fostering the development of young professionals pursuing academic careers in the field of OR and has thus commissioned this special session of the conference for the second time. This half-day program is designed for young scholars who are beginning their academic careers. The goal is to provide junior OR professionals with career-building advice in developing excellence in their personal programs of teaching, research, and service in Operations Research. The program will consist of a set of guided discussions on topics relevant to academic career building in the field of Operations Research. The discussions will cover a broad range of topics such as (but not limited to): excelling in the classroom, new methodologies for research and teaching, book writing, charting and managing a winning research stream, choosing publication outlets, dealing with lazy editors, dealing with impertinent reviewers, funded research, professional service – getting involved with what and when, service opportunities in the GOR, consulting, juggling your activities – doing it all, setting priorities, etc.
Another goal is to facilitate a networking with junior colleagues as well as senior GOR members.
