Recently, the student team of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv participated in the finals of the 47th annual ICPC — International Collegiate Programming Contest, held from April 14 to 19 in Luxor, Egypt. This event brought together 130 of the best teams from around the world. Success in the ICPC can significantly enhance a student's academic and career prospects. Many leading tech companies, including Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, recognize and recruit ICPC participants due to their demonstrated skills and ability to perform under pressure. It makes the contest highly attractive to students aiming for a career in technology and programming.

The International Collegiate Programming Contest is an algorithmic programming contest for college students. Teams of three, representing their university, work to solve the most real-world problems, fostering collaboration, creativity, innovation, and the ability to perform under pressure. Through training and competition, teams challenge each other to raise the bar on the possible. It is the oldest, largest, and most prestigious programming contest in the world. The ICPC operates autonomous regional contests covering six continents, culminating in a yearly global World Finals. 2018 ICPC participation included 52,709 students from 3,233 universities in 110 countries.

The International Collegiate Programming Contest provides a unique opportunity for students to network with peers, coaches, and professionals from around the world. It fosters a sense of community among participants and offers them a chance to build relationships that can be beneficial for their future careers and academic pursuits. Performing well in the competition brings prestige not only to the individual participants but also to their institutions. Universities that consistently perform well in the competition are recognized as leading institutions for Computer Science and Engineering, which can attract more students and funding.

Before the competition for global supremacy in competitive programming began, participants from the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv had the opportunity to meet their opponents and representatives from IT giants. During the competition itself, each team had 5 hours to solve 11 extremely challenging tasks. They need to provide correct results for various input data and adhere to many technical conditions regarding speed and the functions used. It's important to note that the team's ranking was formulated by the time taken to solve the tasks, and each incorrect attempt to submit a solution lowered the team's position in the ranking table.

As a result of this intense competition, the students from Ivan Franko National University of Lviv secured 22nd place, surpassing teams from Oxford University, Stanford University, the University of California, Berkeley, and other renowned universities. For the first time in the long history of the ICPC, a Ukrainian team, specifically the students from Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, held the top position during the second hour of the World Finals, showcasing their exceptional talent and dedication. We congratulate the “LNU Stallions” team, consisting of students from the Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Informatics: Petro Tarnavskyi, Maksym Shcherba, and Yarema Stiahara, as well as their coaches: Vasyl Biletskyi, Andriy Makar, and Vitaliy Herasymiv from the "Algotester" initiative, on their significant achievements! We wish you a confident victory in the next competition finals, which will take place this fall!
