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!
