Euro 2024 Conference Presentation

The ORDES research unit presented the following paper at the EURO 2024 (https://euro2024cph.dk/) conference:

Manousakis E., Kalyvianakis I., Omirolis A., Zachariadis E. (2024). A GRASP metaheuristic for the last-mile Vehicle Routing Problem with Delivery Options.

In summary, the paper optimizes a problem that aims to save costs and reduce the environmental footprint when making deliveries in urban centers. This is achieved by allowing the delivery of products to multiple alternative locations (lockers, work).

It is noteworthy that the research team included Kalyvianakis Ioannis and Omirolis Angelos who are undergraduate students of the Department of Management Science and Technology.

They proved that DMST undergraduate students are capable of producing research work that can be presented at one of the most important international conferences in the field of operations research.
