Invitation
Dear colleagues,
Department of Operations Research, University of Economics in Katowice, is organizing, from April 7 to 8, 2025, the 11th International Workshop on Multiple Criteria Decision Making (IWoMCDM). The workshop is devoted to the theory and applications of multiobjective optimization, goal programming, and multiple criteria decision aid, and IWoMCDM presentations discuss various practical problems solved through MCDM methods in economics, construction, ecology, transportation, health care, education, and others.
IWoMCDM has been organized since 2005 and accompanies the domestic conference on "Preference Modeling and Risk." Usually, approximately 100 participants join both events, which gives an opportunity to discuss and solve scientific problems in a circle of professionals or start cooperation and future joint research.
Until 2023, the conference was held in Ustroń, nestled at the foot of the picturesque Silesian Beskidy Mountains. In 2025, we invite you to Katowice, the capital of the Metropolis GZM. Katowice is an excellent example of a spectacular transformation from an industrial city into a modern cultural, scientific, and business hub; a UNESCO City of Music in 2015, the European City of Science in 2024, and the Polish Capital of Culture in 2027.
We warmly invite you to join us in Katowice in April 2025!
