The 52nd annual conference of the EURO Working Group on Operational Research Applied to Health Services
(ORAHS 2026) will take place in Belfast (UK) organised by
Laura Boyle and Adele Marshall from the Queen’s University Belfast.
We encourage you to consider discussion talk submissions to stimulate debate throughout the
conference. We will hold a practitioner day where public and private health care actors will engage, collaborate
and potentially challenge ORAHS researchers with current issues.
The conference website will be launched as soon as possible!
