The 9th International Symposium & 31st National Conference on Operational Research will be held on the Campus 2 of the University of West Attica. The University was founded in March 2018 by the National Law 4521. The foundation of the newly established University came from the merging process of the former Technological Educational Institute of Athens and Piraeus University of Applied Sciences.

University of West Attica operates with high educational and research standards and strives to respond to the ever-increasing demands of a modern society for the creation of executives that have attained a solid scientific and technological background.

Today, the University of West Attica includes twenty-seven departments, organized into six Schools, covering a wide range of disciplines. The School of Public Health, the School of Management, Economics and Social Sciences, the School of Food Sciences, the School of Health and Welfare Sciences, the School of Applied Arts and Culture and the School of Engineering. The Schools’ fields of study cover a wide range of modern science, including social, administrative and economic sciences, engineering sciences, health and welfare sciences, food sciences and art studies.

The Conference Center has been created on the University Campus of Ancient Eleonas in Egaleo, within the boundaries of the historic olive grove of Athens where the ancient Athenian philosophers taught. In a quiet environment with countless olive trees and elegant gardens, the Conference Center has been developed on four levels with a total area of approximately 5,000 sq.m. with the ability to host up to 1,500 delegates simultaneously
