VeRoLog Conference 2025 – Trento, June 16-19, 2025
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Trento is pleased to warmly invite researchers at any stage of their career as well practitioners from industries to contribute submitting an abstract to the 9th meeting of the EURO working group on Vehicle Routing and Logistics optimization (VeRoLog) organized in Trento (Italy) on 16-19 June 2025.
This distinguished event goal is to provide a platform to present and discuss the latest and most relevant advances concerning vehicle routing optimization and its relationship with logistics, in an environment distinguished by fast, unexpected and prominent scenario variations.
The submission should include a title, an abstract (maximum 300 words), the names of the authors (including the presenting one), and their affiliations. Each participant can present only one contribution during the event. The submission should also indicate the relevant contents from, but not limited to, the following categories:
Models and problems: VRPs variants, Dynamic VRPs, Freight transportation and distribution, Parcel delivery, Attended delivery, VRPs with unmanned vehicles, Vehicle and ride sharing, Dial a ride, Workforce Routing and Scheduling, Electric vehicles, Integrated VRPs, VRPs with network driver or request specificities.
Topics and applications: E-commerce logistics, Healthcare transportation, City logistics, Green and environmental aspects, Fairness and social sustainability, Autonomous driving problems, Internet of Things and sensor-based applications, Mobility as a service, Reverse logistics and circularity, Intralogistics and industrial applications
Methodologies and approaches: Integer and linear programming, Column Generation, Exact solution methods, Meta and hyper heuristics, Machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms, Big data and analytics.
For the first time in VeRoLog history roundtables will be organized to enhance and foster the discussion and debate among peers concerning the hottest topics and trends in VRP research, chaired by distinguished experts.
Submission deadline: February 1st, 2025
Additional information and submission guidelines can be found on the conference webpage:

1st VeRoLog PhD School
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a side event of the 9th meeting of the EURO Working Group on Vehicle Routing and Logistics Optimization, VeRoLog has the pleasure to organize the 1st VeRoLog PhD School. The goal of the PhD school to provide PhD students and post-docs interested in applying and developing operations research and mathematical optimization techniques to solve decision-making problems arising in different applications (such as vehicle routing, logistics, supply chain management, transportation, etc) with the basics of some key methodologies.
The speakers of the school and the topics they will cover are:
- Matteo Fischetti, Università degli Studi di Padova
“Benders, Bilevel and Bilinear Optimization”
- Francesca Maggioni, Università degli Studi di Bergamo
“Solution Methods for Optimization Problems under Uncertainty in Logistics and Transportation”
- Stefan Røpke, Danmarks Tekniske Universitet
“An Introduction to Dantzig-Wolfe Decomposition” (title TBC)
- Sophie Parragh, Johannes Kepler Universität Linz
“Multi-Objective Combinatorial Optimization: Generic Exact Methods and Applications in Vehicle Routing”
There will also be an informal roundtable where Ola Jabali (Professor in Operations Research at Politecnico di Milano), Karen Smilowitz (Professor Industrial Engineering and Management Science at Northwestern University), Daniele Vigo (Professor in Operations Research at Università di Bologna) will address questions, such as, how can I identify a promising research topic? What makes a paper outstanding? What is a good writing process behind a paper? When is research groundbreaking and when is it incremental? How can my research have an impact in the real-world? The participants will also have the chance to ask questions and receive advices about their current and future research activities.
To fully benefit from the school, the participants are supposed to have some background in mixed-integer linear programming. The participants are not supposed to work on vehicle routing or logistics applications.
To submit your application for the PhD school, please fill out the following form:
https://forms.gle/eQ5Emx9jBhPzeuhc8
The number of participants is limited to 100.
The accepted applicants will have to officially register and pay the school’s registration fee using the VeRoLog conference website: https://verolog2025.unitn.it/
There will not be any final exam, so no credits will be awarded to the attendees. However, a certificate of attendance will be given.
Important Dates:
Application Deadline: February 28, 2025 (using google form)
Registration and Payment Deadline: March 31, 2025 (using conference website, payment will open in 2025)
School Schedule:
Friday, June 13, 2025 (9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.)
Saturday, June 14, 2025 (9:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.)
Monday, June 16, 2025 (9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.)
Venue:
Room A 205 – Povo 1 Building
Department of Industrial Engineering, Università di Trento
Via Sommarive, 5, 38123 Trento (TN), Italy
Registration cost: €120

VeRoLog Doctoral Dissertation Prize 2025
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The VeRoLog Doctoral Dissertation Prize (VeRoLog DDP) is issued by the EURO working group on Vehicle Routing and Logistics optimization (VeRoLog) and is awarded at each
VeRoLog annual conference. The purpose of the prize is to distinguish an outstanding PhD thesis on Operational Research methods applied to Vehicle Routing and Logistics
Optimization. The prize will be awarded at the VeRoLog 2025 conference (Trento, Italy, 16-19 June 2025) for theses defended in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
Eligibility of applications
The VeRoLog DDP 2025 jury will only consider PhD theses in Operational Research
defended between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2024. Nominations are NOT
restricted to members of societies that belong to the EURO.
To be considered, a dissertation should be nominated by the supervisor of the thesis (one of them in case of multiple supervisors). The supervisor of the dissertation is asked to provide the jury with the following information by January 31, 2025:
1. the pdf file of the submitted dissertation,
2. an extended abstract (up to 5 pages) of the dissertation. This abstract should be written in English,
3. if the dissertation is not written in English, a paper in English by the author (or co-
author) of the dissertation describing the core ideas of the thesis. This paper
should preferably have been published or submitted to an international journal.
4. nomination letters (or reports) from two independent referees selected by the
dissertation supervisor, supporting the submission and stating why the thesis
should win the award.
5. an up-to-date CV of the candidate, including a list of publications.
No nomination will be considered without these items.
All information should be sent in electronic form to the chairman of the jury, Prof. Fabien
Lehuédé using a compressed format (e.g. zip) to the email address fabien....@imt-atlantique.fr.
Since many PhD theses in OR are defended each year, the jury would like to remind
supervisors that this is a very competitive prize and only outstanding pieces of work
should be submitted for consideration.
Jury
The jury of VeRoLog DDP 2025 is:
1. Fabien Lehuédé, IMT Atlantique, LS2N, Nantes, France (chair)
2. Maria Battarra, University of Bath, UK
3. Kris Braekers, Hasselt University, Belgium
Selection process
The members of the jury will give full consideration to each application. The jury evaluates the applications, taking the following criteria into account:
• originality and novelty of the subject,
• pertinence of the subject to the VeRoLog DDP,
• depth and breadth of the results,
• contributions of the dissertation to the theory and practice of OR applied to Vehicle Routing and Logistics Optimization,
• applications and/or potential applicability of the results,
• impact on related fields,
• quality of the related publications.
The jury may decide not to assign the prize if no thesis reaches the required level of quality.
Award
The prize consists of a certificate, a reward of Euro 500, and a fee waiver to the VeRoLog
2025 conference in Trento, Italy, 16-19 June 2025, where the prize will be awarded.
Deadlines
The deadline for submitting applications is January 31, 2025.
