The Latin-Iberoamerican Conference on Operations Research takes place biennially since 1982 in different Latin American cities and is sponsored by the Association of Latin-Iberoamerican Operational Research Societies (ALIO). The main goals of this conference are to further the exchange of experiences, to establish and deepen ties between researchers and practitioners in the region, and to help young undergraduate and graduate students in their professional development. We hope to see you in Buenos Aires!
