The Metaheuristics Network is a European Commission project, undertaken jointly by five European institutes, that aims to compare and analyse the performance of various metaheuristics on different combinatorial optimization problems, including Timetabling.

The International Series of Conferences on the Practice and Theory of Automated Timetabling (PATAT) is held bi-annually as a forum for both researchers and practioners of timetabling to exchange ideas.
