INESC TEC meets OR&S

INESC TEC Porto and OR&S Ghent

On June 5th, 2015, four members of the Operations Research and Scheduling group were invited at INESCTEC Porto. A workshop organized by colleague and friend José Coelho, who currently collaborates on a four-months research project in Lisbon (Portugal) with Mario Vanhoucke on Branch-and-Bound searches for scheduling.

The workshop PMSGU 2015 (Project Management and Scheduling - Ghent University) was given at the offices in Porto, after a nice introduction to the overwhelming amount of research projects they currently carry out (from scheduling to drone testing, from smart grid technology to marine technology, and much more). The workshop with presentations of our research was not only interesting for both speakers and listeners, it was also a first step in further collaborations with members of the INESCTEC team.

Nice experience. To be continued...
