Presentation

The Location Network is made up of different groups of researchers from various universities working in the field of location and related problems. In addition to location models, route and transport models, network design and logistics, among other topics, are studied. The Network was created in 2002 from the Spanish Localization Group (GELOCA, http://geloca.seio.es/), being financed from its inception by the Spanish Government. From 2002 to the present, the Network has been coordinated by Juan A. Mesa (University of Seville), Elena Fernández (Polytechnic University of Catalonia), Alfredo Marín (University of Murcia), Dolores R. Santos-Peñate (University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria), Antonio M. Rodríguez-Chía (University of Cádiz) and Maria Albareda (Polytechnic University of Catalonia).

Since 2010, among other activities, the Network annually organizes the International Workshop on Locational Analysis and Related Problems, open to the participation of people interested in issues related to location.
