How can companies learn something about their customers from a large amount of data, how can reasonable prices be determined, how can negotiations be conducted? Practitioners and researchers whose work is related to the interdisciplinary field of operations research will address these and other issues in an international conference, OR2017, on September 6-8 in the Henry Ford Building at Freie Universität. Operations research forms an interface between mathematics, computer science, economics, social sciences,and engineering. The event is public, and registration is possible online. "The complex issues associated with digitization require an exchange across the disciplines and between researchers and practitioners. The OR2017 conference offers one of the world's largest forums for this," says Natalia Kliewer. An economist at the School of Business and Economics, Freie Universität Berlin, Kliewer is in charge of the conference, which she organized jointly with Ralf Borndörfer from the Institute of Mathematics, Freie Universität, and Jan Ehmke from European University Viadrina.
