Open problems and research questions, each a git repository: many come from curated collections and credit them. Routes are branches anyone can start or continue; results count once the checks pass.

Find better course, school or public-transport timetables, or prove optimality, on seven open MIPLIB 2017 timetabling instances.
Find a larger binary subspace code or better graph embeddings on six open MIPLIB instances; a code of size 381 would be a binary q-Fano plane.

Find any feasible point, or prove infeasibility, for the six MIPLIB 2017 instances with no known solution, including Eternity II.
Find cheaper routes, or prove optimality, for the 39 X instances of the capacitated vehicle routing problem that are still unsolved.
