General Description:
This challenge concerns an optimization problem encountered in the context of production, transportation or logistics (subject updated every year). It is scheduled on a single time slot. Early in the morning, the subject is presented to the students. Then, every team of two students has to code a solution method, aiming at obtaining the best possible results on given datasets. The choice of the programming language is left open.
