ROUTE 2000 - INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON VEHICLE ROUTING


SKODSBORG, DENMARK - AUGUST 16-19, 2000


The International Workshop on Vehicle Routing and related areas, ROUTE 2000, will take place at ROLIGHED, Skodsborg, Denmark, August 16-19, 2000. ROLIGHED is a 200 year old patrician estate located in a 33000 square meter private park near the seaside 15 km north of Copenhagen.

The workshop is supported by The Danish Social Science Foundation and The Technical University of Denmark.

The workshop aims to provide a forum for scientific exchange and cooperation in the field of vehicle routing and related areas. To keep the workshop rather informal and to encourage discussion and cooperation there will be a limit of 30-35 participants and a single stream of presentations. The participation is by invitation only.

The participation fee is dkr 4000 (approximately 530 USD), and the fee includes room and full board (3 nights in a single room with bath, 3 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 3 dinners, and 6 coffee breaks). The fee should be paid by an international bank cheque in Danish Crowns together with the abstract. Make the cheque payable to Route 2000, IMM Build. 321, DTU, and send the cheque to Jesper Larsen, IMM Build. 321, DTU, DK 2800 Lyngby, Denmark.

The workshop will start on Wednesday, August 16, 2000 at 2.00 pm where registration will start. Coffee will be served at 2.30 pm. Dinner at 6.00 pm, and the talks will start in the evening. The workshop will end after lunch at 1.30 pm on Saturday, August 19, 2000.
