Research.com, a leading academic platform for researchers, released in December 2022 the 2nd edition of its ranking of the top 1000 scientists in several fields.

The final will take place during the 23rd IFORS Triennial Conference from July 10-14, 2023 in Santiago, Chile. The team of professors Issmail El Hallaoui and François Soumis is one of the six finalists with their project "OCP Optimizes its Supply Chain for Africa". The country represented is Morocco and their Moroccan partners are the OCP Group and the UM6P university. This project is part of the Ph.D. research topic of El Mehdi Er Raqabi.

We should also underline the very important role of Ahmed Beljadid in this project.

The Polytechnique Montréal Award for Excellence in Research and Innovation was awarded this year to François Soumis, Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Industrial Engineering.
