What a summer, huh?

Last weeks have been pretty intense in Operations Research.

The field is evolving rapidly nowadays, I can see a lot of movement inside it. Like everyone now is aware of Operations Research and want to get a piece of the cake.

Now, academia creates the innovation in the form of algorithms, and that innovation is transferred to society in the form of companies that build powerful tools. Those companies create the building blocks to actually solve complex business problems in real life with the help of experts in the field.
