Conference Operations Research & Health Care


Speakers


Abstract

The Expertise Center Health Care Logistics is an initiative of iBMG, Erasmus MC and the Erasmus School of Economics at the Erasmus University to combine efforts in research and teaching in the area of logistics. With this initiative we want to contribute regional, national and international to the knowledge of care logistics.
 
A complete program is available here. The preliminary program book including all abstracts is now available and can be downloaded from here. A final version in paper will be handed out to all participants on November 18.
