The EURO Doctoral Dissertation Award (EDDA) distinguishes outstanding PhD theses in Operational Research defended in European countries. It is awarded at the closing ceremony of the biannual EURO conference. At this year's EURO in Glasgow, Timo Berthold's thesis "Heuristic algorithms in global MINLP solvers" was one of the four finalists for the award.
