Are you an optimization expert or a developer in energy system modeling? 

Join us for the upcoming Peregrine PIPS-IPM++ Hackathon
taking place from June 15 to June 26, 2026
in a hybrid format hosted by the Forschungscampus MODAL at ZIB. 

This event challenges participants to expand the reach of the PIPS-IPM++ solver by developing new interfaces for modeling systems like Pyomo or JuMP, energy models, and programming languages like Julia or Rust. 

To support your development, we provide a streamlined Docker setup, sample workflows, and expert coaching, plus the chance to compete for cash prizes up to €1,200.
