IJOPM Special Issue

🌍 Special Issue Announcement – IJOPM: Are you exploring how geopolitical tensions and economic policy uncertainty are reshaping the architecture of global supply chains?

We’re excited to announce a new Special Issue in the International Journal of Operations & Production Management (IJOPM) titled: “Supply Chain Network Design amid Geopolitical Tensions and Economic Policy Uncertainty”

This issue invites bold, forward-thinking research that tackles one of the most urgent challenges in operations today. From trade wars to shifting alliances, supply chain resilience is no longer optional—it’s strategic.

Nordic Winter School on Advanced Stochastic Optimisation

PhD students are invited to participate in the Nordic winter school on Advanced Stochastic Optimization at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway, from 1 – 5 December 2025. The course is part of the Nordic Courses in Stochastic Programming, a cooperation between NTNU, NHH in Bergen, and UCPH in Copenhagen that provides PhD courses on stochastic programming. The course builds on the material taught in the introduction-level Nordic PhD course in stochastic programming taught in Bergen in September this year. Prior participation in that course is not mandatory, but some basic knowledge of stochastic programming models is required.

The deadline for registration is 15 September. Further information.
