The 1st HeuristicLab Community Meeting took place on June 21st, 2021. A friendly get-togehter and a constructive exchange of HeuristicLab users, developers and those yet to become one.

HEAL and FunnelFox have just started a new collaborative project to develop an AI-driven recommendation system for new customers for the FunnelFox distribution software. The project is supported by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Digital and Economic Affairs within the FFG General Programme.

Participation in the Workshop on Genetic Programming Theory & Practice (GPTP) is only possible on invitation. Therefore, we are pleased that HEAL members have been part each year since 2013. This year, Prof. Stephan Winkler was even one of the organizers of the workshop. Normally taking place in Michigan - either at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor or the Michigan State University - this year the workshop was hosted by ZOOM from May 19-21.
