Povh, Janez (author), Zadnik Stirn, Lidija (author), Žerovnik, Janez (author)

The paper provides a short history of the operations research (OR) in Slovenia. Some major events and achievements are mentioned and briefy discussed. The period starts in the year 1964, with the frst symposium on OR in Slovenia. In the following decades, there were several important milestones: (1) the start of master’s and Ph.D. studies in OR in 1974, (2) the establishment of SSI-SSOR in 1992 (SSISSOR stands for the Slovenian Section for Operational Research within the Slovenian Society of Informatics), and (3) the start of a series of symposia in operations research in 1993. All these activities resulted in an extensive list of publications, projects, and monographs and international connections, proving that OR is still a vibrant feld, which facilitates knowledge transfer from pure research to business applications.
