The 21st European Congress on Metaheuristics EU/MEeting will take place from April 17-21 and will be held at the University of Technologies in Troyes.

The coordination of the event will be under the supervision of the EUME/GT2L and EUME/GT ROQ organizations. The former with regard to Conferences, the latter with regard to Schools.

Prominent among the participants in the event is the French supercomputing center GENCI, both as financial support but also as a featured speaker in the plenary talks.

The articulation of the event is spread over three sessions:

• A session of Conferences focusing on the latest developments in the field of metaheuristics. Specialists in the field of optimization will gather, with the aim of presenting the latest advances and holding tutorials with a focus on methods based on the new paradigms offered by quantum computing.
• A Tutorial session on metaheuristics and quantum computing.
• A School (with hands-on) on quantum optimization, with specific focus on QAOA and adiabatic optimization. The School is dedicated to researchers and PhD students interested in discovering quantum theory applied to concrete problems.
