International Summer Online Student Programming Camp

From August 21 till August 31 Petrozavodsk State University hosts the annual summer international programming camp.

The program of the camp includes five-hour long contests, problem analysis. The contests (problems) of various type and difficulty have been developed by the winners and prize-winners of the International Collegiate Programming Contest. The winners of the camp will be determined by the final ranking according to the number of problems solved in the time given. If several teams solve the same number of problems, the one who does it quicker ends up on top. The authors will hold analysis of all problems and the participants can go over the problems again and upsolve those they didn’t complete.

Among the contestants are the teams of MSU, Moscow IPT, Saint Petersburg State University, ITMO University, Saint Petersburg Academic University, Ural Federal University, SSU.

Petrozavodsk State University is represented by a team led by Olga Masaeva.

Among the foreign participants are the representatives of Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Poland, Czechia, China.

This is the third time the camp is held in online mode: in summer 2020 and winter 2021 the camps were also held remotely.

Roman Soshkin, organizer of the contest, Candidate of Technical Sciences, senior teacher of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Cybernetics:

“Regardless of the mode, it is not that challenging to host the camp. All thanks to Vladimir Kuznetsov who at the first stages has arranged everything and turned this into a “usual” event for the university, as the process is fine-tuned. There is of course a lot to be done, but the tasks are familiar.”

The Head of the Programming Club, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Cybernetics Vladimir Kuznetsov:

“I wish all the participants self-discipline, will to win, and concentration on high performance.”

The camps at Petrozavodsk University are held since 1998, since 2000 they are held twice a year: in winter and summer. Summer and Winter Programming Camps are the largest international student programming camps that convene the strongest teams of the leading universities of the world. The event has long become a brand of both Petrozavodsk State University and the Republic of Karelia.
