EDSI, a regional subdivision of the Decision Sciences Institute (DSI), is a nonprofit professional organization of European researchers, managers, educators, and students interested in decision-making techniques and processes in private and public organizations. Members of EDSI are automatically members of DSI and as such can leverage on the long history of the parent organization, giving access to a global network of members and resources.
EDSI was founded in August 2009 by approval of the board of DSI under its President Ram Narasimhan and President-Elect G. Keong Leong. EDSI works toward accomplishing DSI’s vision of becoming the premier society for decision-making professionals based on a number of key principles.
