LASIGE integrated researcher Pedro Ferreira, PhD students Nuno Dionísio, Alan Espindola, and Catarina Canastra, and MSc student Nuno Costa, participated in the ROAR-NET Problem Modelling Code Fest, from September 9 to 11, 2025.

The Code Fest was organized by the European Cost action ROAR-NET as an online event around the earth globe, with physical hubs hosting participant teams in 17 different countries. The goal of the event was for participants to earn how to use the ROAR-NET API to develop computational models of combinatorial optimisation problems in a solver-agnostic way.
