The workshop follows a traditional format. Companies present a selection of problems on the Monday. The participants devote the entire week to solving these problems in smaller groups. Each group presents their work on the Friday. Wednesday evening is the conference dinner. On Thursday night there is pizza to fuel preparation of the final presentations.

It is opened by Marjan Oudeman, Chair of CvB UU, on Monday morning at Boothzaal, UBU (Heidelberglaan 3). Working rooms are situated in Hans Freudenthalgebouw (Budapestlaan 6). Closing presentations take place on Friday, back in the Boothzaal.

For more information, consult the final programme (pdf).
