The POSRS/PTBOiS has since its founding gathered top Polish researchers and scholars in its fields of activities, including members of various academies of sciences, fellows of IEEE, EurAI, IFSA, etc., presidents of various international societies, e.g., IFORS, IFSA, RSS, etc., awardees of top OR/SR prizes exemplified by the EURO Gold Medal, IEEE Pioneer Awards, etc.
As of the end of 2016, the Society had some 100 members, mainly from the research and scholarly institutions, with a noticeable part from the public administration, business and industry.
For roughly 20 years POSRS (PTBOiS) had been publishing regularly the proceedings of its continuing conference series, altogether several dozen volumes between 1986 and 2008.
[1][2] The members of the POSRS have also published numerous books, edited volumes, and hundreds of papers in highly respected journals and conference proceedings.
It is also worth noting the role of members of the Organizing Committee and pillars of the Operations Research and Management Science group at the Poznań University of Technology: Professors Jacek Błażewicz, Roman Słowiński and Jan Węglarz, in the support and organization process of the EURO 2016 conference that stimulated communication and cooperation among the most important European operational researchers.
