Fellow Forecasters!
We have the pleasure
of co-chairing the forecasting stream of special sessions to be held at
EURO INFORMS 2013 conference.
We would like to personally invite you, both researchers
and practitioners, to propose a special session to be
organised within this stream - on any particular
forecasting related topic you are interested in - or to
present a paper in one of the accepted special sessions
or in the general session on Forecasting.
We look forward to seeing you in Rome!

Professor
Robert Fildes
Distinguished Professor in Management Science
Robert Fildes is
Distinguished Professor of Management Science in
the School of Management, Lancaster
University and
Director of the Lancaster Centre for Forecasting.
He was co-founder in 1981 of the Journal of
Forecasting and in l985 of the International
Journal of Forecasting. He has consulted and
lectured widely on all aspects of the problem of
improving forecasting in organisations. His
major concern is that despite all the research
companies still stay with old-fashioned systems
and methods. The solution, he thinks, is better
designed forecasting systems and better trained
forecasters.
