Submissions are invited to the 2021 AGIFORS Ken Wang Scholars Program, an award competition organized by the Airline Group of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (AGIFORS). The submission deadline is June 1st, 2021, 18:00 EST.
Ken Wang Scholars will be selected by an award committee and invited to present their work at the 2021 AGIFORS Symposium. The AGIFORS Community, represented by the conference attendants, will get opportunities to ask questions at the conference, and the awards will be presented to the winners.
AGIFORS Scholars will receive a cash award of USD $1,000 as well as air transportation, accommodations, and registration fees to attend the next AGIFORS Annual Symposium. The total value of each Ken Wang Scholars Award is therefore more than USD $2,500.
Applicants cannot apply for both the Ken Wang Scholars program and the Anna Valicek award in the same calendar year.
Applications from the country in which the Symposium is being held are strongly encouraged to apply.
Additionally, the below criteria apply respectively to each of the awards.
