CORS/Optimization Days 2008 joint conference

Celebrate Quebec City 400^th anniversary and CORS 50^th anniversary

Quebec City is one of the landmarks of North American history. Included on UNESCO’s prestigious World Heritage List, Quebec City has retained its European atmosphere completely. The winding cobbled streets are flanked by 17^th and 18^th century stone houses and churches, graceful parks, and countless monuments. Overlooking the St. Lawrence River, Quebec City has attracted visitors since it was founded by Samuel de Champlain in 1608.

The Canadian Operational Research Society (CORS) was founded in Montreal in April 1958. The first annual CORS conference was held in Toronto in 1959. Come celebrate in Quebec City the 50^th anniversary of CORS at the occasion of its 50^th annual conference!
