This session aims to present recent advances in the field of metaheuristics for routing and scheduling. Innovative contributions in both theoretical developments and real-world applications are of particular interest. This session gathers, but is not limited to the following topics: routing problems, manufacturing or project scheduling, single or multi-objective optimization, individual or population-based methods, theoretical advances and real-world applications.

Keywords: - Metaheuristics, - Local search methods, - Evolutionary algorithms, - Swarm intelligence, - Hybrid methaheuristics, - Multi objective optimization, - Production scheduling, - Project scheduling, - Routing problem.
