COST Action 22137 Randomised Optimisation Algorithms Research Network (ROAR-NET) aims at making randomised optimisation algorithms widely competitive in practice by identifying and reducing obstacles to their adoption at the scientific, technical, economic, and human levels. It focuses on meeting the needs of practitioners, from whose activities the economic value of optimisation solvers stems. These needs are taken as the driving force for new theoretical, methodological, and technical advances leading to the sustainable development of widely available software tools, training materials and programmes, and ultimately to more extensive acceptance and deployment of these methods.

Members of Department of Intelligent Systems are active in several ROAR-NET Working Groups and Task Forces. Bogdan Filipič is also a member of its Management Committee and acts as Grant Awarding Coordinator.
