2027 EDSI Annual Conference

The European Decision Sciences Institute (EDSI) is delighted to bring its 17th Annual Conference to Belfast, hosted by Queen’s Business School at Queen’s University Belfast from 3–5 June 2027.

Under the theme “Designing Adaptive Systems: Smarter Decisions for a Rapidly Changing Future”, EDSI 2027 will bring together academics, doctoral researchers, practitioners and decision makers to share research, exchange ideas and explore how Decision Sciences can help organisations and societies respond intelligently to continuous change.

In an era where technologies, markets and societal expectations are evolving at unprecedented speed, organisations must develop systems that can learn, adapt and respond effectively. The conference will explore the decision-making approaches, models and tools needed to design and manage adaptive systems across organisations, operations, supply chains and broader socio-technical environments.

The programme will combine keynote and invited speakers, parallel research sessions, Academic–Industry Panel discussions, special sessions, the Best Paper Competition and networking opportunities. Where relevant, panel discussions will also engage policymakers and public-sector decision makers, connecting rigorous research with contemporary organisational and societal challenges.
