About BELFORS

Right now, we are setting up Belgium's first Forecasting Research Society. Our goal is to build an active network of academics and practitioners who are active in forecasting. Practitioners typically have the interesting - unsolved - problems and academics like a challenge.

BELFORS focuses on "Integrating Forecasting for Decision Making".

Our Mission

BELFORS aims to bridge the gap between forecasting research and practical applications in business and society. By bringing together researchers and practitioners, we create a collaborative environment where theoretical advances meet real-world challenges.

Focus Areas

• Business Forecasting and Demand Planning
• Time Series Analysis and Modeling
• Machine Learning for Forecasting
• Decision Support Systems
• Forecasting Applications in Industry
• Statistical Methods and Best Practices

Who We Are
