EU/ME is the largest working group on metaheuristics worldwide, uniting over 1400 members from more than 80 countries. This working group is a platform for information and communication among researchers and practitioners in metaheuristics.

EU/ME is supported by EURO, the European Association of National Operational Research Societies. Membership is free and open to everyone around the world interested in this exciting field of research. Although primarily aimed at researchers, EU/ME actively encourages people from industry and the service sector to join.

EU/ME organizes a yearly EU/MEeting, a workshop on a specific topic related to metaheuristics.
