The AIROYoung Dissertation Award (AYDA) is awarded every year for the best doctoral thesis in Operations Research.
An initial evaluation of the candidate theses is carried out by a commitee of Italian OR professors.
The finalists present their doctoral theses during a special session hosted by the Optimization and Decision Science (ODS) conference and, finally, the winner is announced.
