THE SOCIETY

The goal of the VVSOR is to promote the application and study of statistics and operational research, serving both science and society. In order to achieve this goal many events are organized by the VVSOR, such as the two-day Annual Meeting in Spring. Speakers with varying backgrounds tell their vision on the disciplines of statistics and/or operations research. Each year during the Annual Meeting two prices are awarded for the best Master’s thesis and the best PhD thesis and every five years the Van Dantzig price is awarded. Furthermore, the VVSOR publishes two journals, the scientific journal Statistica Neerlandica and the society’s journal STAtOR. Our expert group advises institutes and news media on new developments and difficult issues regarding statistics and OR.

Sections

The various areas within statistics and operations research have resulted in our seven sections, who also organize events and meetings on a regular basis.
