Description
Each year CORS conducts a student paper competition to recognize the contribution of a paper either directly to the field of operational research through the development of methodology or to another field through the application of operational research. The competition serves to showcase the high quality of OR education in Canada as well as the excellence of the new generation of operational researchers. Prizes are awarded in two categories: Undergraduate and Open.
Requirements
The applicant must be enrolled as a full-time student in a Canadian institution, in an undergraduate, masters, or PhD program during the school year 2022–2023. Canadians who are studying outside of Canada are also eligible. Papers in which all applicants are undergraduates may be submitted to either category: Open or Undergraduate, but not to both. Papers in which some authors are graduate students must be submitted to the Open category. MBA students (and other specialized master students) must submit to the Open category with their applied projects. Published papers are eligible for the competition only if their initial submission date (for publication) is after the previous year's CORS Annual Conference.
Supervisors and industry partners may appear as co-authors on the paper, but the first authors must be the applicants. The applicants must have made a substantial contribution to the project and must have written the paper with only minor editorial assistance. If the paper includes non-student authors, the supervisor should include information about the roles of the various authors when confirming the eligibility of the students.
Application Process
We thank you for your interest. Applications are no longer accepted for 2023.
