EURO Working Group on Locational Analysis meeting plenary

I gave a plenary talk at the EURO Working Group for Locational Analysis (EWGLA) XXV Conference entitled “On designing public sector systems.” I am grateful to Prof. Dr. Lieselot Vanhaverbeke, organizer of the 2019 EURO Working Group on Locational Analysis meeting and professor at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) for inviting me. Her hospitality and the hospitality of the entire conference organizing committee was amazing. They even gave me a box of very nice locally made gourmet speculoos cookies, which I greatly appreciate.

My slides are below.

The references from my presentation capture almost two decades of research. The papers can be found in the Research section of my blog and are listed at the bottom of this blog post.

I captured much of my visit on twitter. Here are some highlights:
