Following the success of the first Israeli-Turkish workshop in Operations Research (WITOR1), which took place in Istanbul in September 2009, the two OR societies of Turkey (ORST) and Israel (ORSIS) held their second workshop (WITOR2) on October 27-28, 2013 on the Tel Aviv University campus. WITOR2 was conducted in cooperation with the Turkish Israeli Business Council and was funded by generous contributions from ORSIS, Recanati Business School at Tel Aviv University, The Technion, Hebrew University, Bar Ilan University and Ben Gurion University. Additional funding was received from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Netafim Company. Nineteen colleagues from Turkey and about twenty five Israelis attended the workshop.
