CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: 15th annual "COIN-OR Cup" competition sponsored by the COIN-OR Foundation.
The COIN-OR Cup recognizes and celebrates the best contributions to open source operations research software development and use associated with the COIN-OR software collection. To remind you, COIN-OR stands for "COmputational INfrastructure for OPerations Research". It is the definitive collection of free open source operations research software that lets you concentrate on your research instead of re-implementing software. See https://www.coin-or.org. Get on board!

A submission or nomination must contain:
1. A synopsis of an effective use of COIN-OR or valuable contribution to COIN-OR (or both!), including an explanation of its significance. Maximum 3 pages (pdf format).
