EurOMA 2011

The 18th International Annual EurOMA Conference returned to Cambridge from 3 – 6 July 2011. The conference was first held in Cambridge in 1994, when around 140 people joined together for the first time to discuss "Operations strategy and performance".

The 2011 conference was preceded by the EurOMA Doctoral Seminar on 1 and 2 July and the Young Scholars Workshop on 3 July.

The conference was hosted by the Judge Business School and the Institute for Manufacturing at Cambridge University.

EurOMA conferences have a long standing tradition of critical discussion and drive for quality research in an open and friendly atmosphere. Social events were planned to allow the blending of networking among participants and the exploration of the beautiful city of Cambridge. http://www.euroma2011.org
