About us

The Operations Research & Scheduling (OR&S) group at Ghent University focuses on advancing project management through data‑driven methods and optimization techniques. Their research covers project scheduling, resource-constrained planning, schedule risk analysis, and integration of risk with project control. The group combines theoretical models with practical applications, producing tools, software, and publications that support both academic study and professional project management practice.

Beyond academic research and professional activities, the OR&S group also values the social side of scientific collaboration. The team actively participates in international conferences and workshops, where exchanging ideas with peers often goes hand in hand with building friendships and enjoying memorable moments together. The picture below, taken at the Project Management and Scheduling Conference in Toulouse, reflects the group's enthusiasm for connecting with the broader research community while sharing both knowledge and good times.
