About 100 stars of sports programming from 9 European countries will gather on October 16-18 at the Vinnytsia National Technical University (Ukraine) and the Bucharest Polytechnic (Romania) to compete in the semi-finals of the South-Eastern European ASM-ISRS World Student Programming Championship Programming Contest - SEERC) to compete for tickets to the world finals, which will be held next year on the island of Phuket in Thailand.

ASM-ISRS is the most massive and popular worldwide student Olympiad, in the selection competitions of which more than 300,000 teams representing about 10,000 universities from 120 countries of the world participate. During the competition, students must not only write program code, but, above all, under stressful conditions of limited time and computing resources (one computer is provided for a team of three students), organize effective teamwork to create optimal algorithms for solving the set tasks This requires a high level of knowledge in both programming and computational mathematics, statistics, artificial intelligence and other fundamental sciences of computer science.
