By misis, history, 4 years ago, translation, In English

We are glad to inform you that Volga Summer Camp 2020 – open competitive programming camp – will take place on July 7-18. It is organised by NUST MISIS together with P.G. Demidov Yaroslavl State University with the support of SIT (Schaffhausen Institute of Technology).

At the moment a lot of events are held in the remote mode and our camp is not an exception. This year it will be conducted online.

Teams of up to 3 members are invited to join.

There are two levels of difficulty (two divisions):

  • DivC welcomes teams, getting ready for the semi-final of ICPC. Half of the time they are going to deal with quarter-final ICPC contests, and the rest of it will be dedicated to private thematic contests. The focus of our lessons will be on coordinate compression, number theory, probability problems, network flow in graph theory.
  • DivB is for teams aiming directly at ICPC final. All the contests here are team ones. The contests are going to be of the two difficulty levels: those of semi-finals and quarter-finals of ICPC.

During the camping period there will be 10 training days and 2 days off. Training days will have the usual schedule: contest→ tutorial→upsolving. For divC there will be lectures before private contests. The lectures in the camp will be given by coaches from NUST MISiS, YarSU and ITMO on one of the platforms for video conferencing. It is the first time foreign teams are invited to DivB. DivB classes will be held in two languages: both in Russian and in English.

Arrangement fee for participants from EAEU is 5000 rubles per person.

Arrangement fee for participants from other countries is 100 euros per person.

To participate fill in the application form before the 25th of June.

    It is caused by special procedures that have to be followed to support foreign students participation

      That does not answer my question.

      Is almost 40 euros more per person, so 120 euros more per team.

      Special procedures like what?
