March 31 - 02 April 2025

Mercure Rougemont Hotel, Exeter

The biennial OR Society Simulation Workshop brings together academics, practitioners and students working in the field of modelling & simulation. It provides an opportunity to exchange ideas on the current and future state-of-the-art in modelling and simulation. The programme consists of keynote presentations, panel discussions, beginner/advanced tutorials, and parallel streams. Breaks between sessions and the conference dinner provide an excellent opportunity for networking. The exhibition area includes poster displays and some of the latest developments in simulation software tools.

As part of the Journal of Simulation Africa Focus initiative (2024-2026), the workshop will include special sessions on modelling and simulation research conducted in or related to the African region. Papers, posters and presentations are sought that advance simulation theory, methodology, and practice within the unique contexts, challenges, and opportunities of the African region.

The Africa Focus sessions will be online, and there will be no registration fees for authors who will present in the online stream. In support of the initiative, for in-person attendees from African countries, there will also be four grants from the OR Society towards either a full or a 50% waiver of the conference registration fees. The deadline for application is 10th February 2025 (priority will be given to authors with accepted papers). Please email the conference chairs.
