ODSIE 2026 offers a unique opportunity for experts to address critical national and global challenges in data science and optimization while fostering closer collaborations between academia and industry. Alongside keynote presentations and paper sessions, the conference will feature interactive workshops and other engaging programs, with full details accessible on our website.

We warmly invite researchers, educators, students, and professionals in engineering management and IT. While English is the primary language, papers may be submitted and presented in either English or Turkish. Selected contributions will be considered for publication in journals listed on the conference website.

Submissions focused on Optimization and Data Science are strongly encouraged. The conference welcomes both full papers and abstracts for presentation and inclusion in the proceedings. We accept both theoretical and applied research, including case studies, emphasizing the use of exact and heuristic optimization methods, as well as data science techniques, to support improved decision-making.
