The UCT Department of Statistical Sciences is hosting a three-day, in-person Operations Research (OR) Workshop taking place from 10 to 12 September 2025, from 9am to 4pm each day. The workshop will be held at Hahn 4, PD Hahn Building, Upper Campus, University of Cape Town.

​

OR is the study of scientific approaches to decision-making. By applying mathematical models, optimisation techniques, and other analytical methods, OR enables a deeper understanding of complex problems and supports the development of effective and practical solutions. The aim of the workshop is to promote the importance and real-world relevance of the OR field. A variety of speakers from academia and industry will present OR-related projects that demonstrate practical applications across different sectors. Each day will feature a different set of speakers, topics, and activities to ensure a diverse and engaging programme.
