Modelling Competition

As part of ModRef'22, we will host a modelling competition. Teams of up to five members will compete to be the first to find the best solutions for different instances of described problems. Teams can compete either on location at FLoC 2022 or remotely. We will organize a chat server to communicate with the teams competing remotely. The problem descriptions will be available from circa 14:45 (UTC+3) and solutions can be submitted until 17:00 (UTC+3), after which the winners will be directly announced.

Registration: Google Form, or in-person at FLoC 2022

I hope to see you there!
