The EURO Gold medal of the Association of European Operational Research Societies (EURO) is the highest distinction within Operations Research (OR) in Europe.[1] The prize was first awarded to Hans-Jürgen Zimmermann in 1985.
The medal is awarded at EURO-k Conferences, which usually take place twice every three years.[2] It is granted to an individual or a group for an outstanding contribution to the field of Operations Research. The Prize is intended to reflect contributions that have stood the test of time, and hence it is awarded for a body of work, rather than a single piece.[1] The award is a medal in gold, a diploma, and a fee waiver for all future EURO-k conferences.
