The ACM ICPC (International Collegiate Programming Contest) is a sport programming world championship sponsored by IBM, held annually under the auspices of ACM (Association for Computing Machinery).

For several decades now these four words stand for the most important programming competition among student teams.

The World Finals took place in a special ICPC Zone in Ekaterinburg, Russian Federation. This year 122 teams participated in ACM ICPC World Finals. They were ranked according to the number of problems solved. Teams who solve the same number of problems are ranked first by least total time and by the time of submission of the last accepted problem.

TEAM International supported Kharkiv Karazin Team at this contest. We’re happy to announce that Karazin Team took 45 place, beating Stanford University and the University of Cambridge! Another Ukrainian University, Taras Shevchenko Kiev National University, took 18th place in total rankings, which is higher than, for instance, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
