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 RO 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.

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 l’année scolaire 2021–2022. Les Canadiens(iennes) qui font leurs études à l’étranger sont aussi admissibles. Les candidats(es) de niveau baccalauréat sont admissibles au concours dans l'une ou l'autre des catégories : Ouvert à tous ou niveau baccalauréat, mais pas aux deux. Les articles dans lesquels certains auteurs sont des étudiants diplômés doivent être soumis à la catégorie Ouvert à tous. Les étudiants inscrits à la maîtrise en administration des affaires (et à d’autres programmes spécialisés de maîtrise) doivent soumettre leurs projets appliqués dans la catégorie Ouvert à tous. Les articles publiés ne sont admissibles au concours que si la date initiale de leur soumission (pour publication) est postérieure au congrès annuel de la SCRO de l’année précédente.
