Description
Chaque année, la SCRO organise un concours du meilleur article par un étudiant pour souligner la contribution d’un article, soit directement au domaine de la recherche opérationnelle par le développement d'une méthodologie, soit à une autre discipline par une application de recherche opérationnelle. Le concours permet de faire valoir la grande qualité de l’enseignement en R.O. et le haut niveau d’excellence de la nouvelle génération de chercheurs opérationnels au Canada. Les prix sont décernés dans deux catégories : Niveau baccalauréat et Ouvert à tous. Les étudiants inscrits à la maîtrise en administration des affaires (et à d’autres programmes spécialisés de maîtrise) sont encouragés à participer au concours en soumettant leurs projets appliqués dans la catégorie Ouvert à tous.
Admissibilité
Le (ou la) candidat(e) doit être inscrit(e) en tant qu’étudiant(e) à temps plein dans une école ou université canadienne au niveau baccalauréat, maîtrise ou doctorat pendant les années scolaires 2018–2019. Les Canadiens(iennes) qui font leurs études à l’étranger sont aussi admissibles. Les candidats(es) de niveau baccalauréat sont admissibles au concours dans deux catégories : Ouvert à tous et de niveau baccalauréat.
Modalités d’inscription
Nous vous remercions de votre intérêt, mais les demandes ne sont plus acceptées pour 2019.
Les finalistes seront annoncés (à titre indicatif) dans la semaine du 29 avril.

La catégorie Niveau baccalauréat
Président : Tamon Stephen
Prix
Catégorie Ouvert à tous : premier prix 500 $, mention honorable 100 $

Les auteurs de tous les articles finalistes recevront un certificat.
Cependant, dans l’éventualité où un(e) étudiant(e) sélectionnés dans la catégorie Niveau baccalauréat gagnerait le concours Ouvert à tous, aucun prix ne sera remis dans la catégorie Niveau baccalauréat. Dans le cas d’un concours très serré, les articles ne recevant pas le prix pourraient se voir attribuer une mention honorable.
Les finalistes sélectionnés dans la catégorie Niveau baccalauréat seront admissibles à une aide financière partielle pour assister au congrès annuel de la SCRO. Le président du Comité d’éducation communiquera avec les finalistes pour leur fournir des précisions à ce sujet.
