Programming competitions

Our programming competition group is primarily concerned with competitive programming. We coordinate participation in competitions and training sessions for them. We also organize our own small events.

However, programming competitions can be very diverse. In addition to competitive programming, these also include hackathons or even obfuscation competitions.

GCPC 2024 – … The GCPC is the nationwide competition to compare your Competitive Programming skills with other university teams. It is not a formal requirement for NWERC, but it usually determines the best teams from a university, who will then also participate in NWERC. https://gcpc.nwerc.eu/ Göttingen is likely to host a contest site for this competition, so if you want to participate, you can do it directly on-site. There’s plenty of space!

Past dates

Here is a small overview of past events that we have organized or participated in.

GCPC 2023 – 17.06.2023 The University of Göttingen participated in GCPC this year with four teams, achieving ranks 15, 19, 47, and 74. We are very pleased with these placements, especially as two teams solved 7 problems, and our team with first-time participants solved 3 problems. The results can be found here: https://gcpc.nwerc.eu/results

CodePong – 10.06.2023 The Code-Pong tournament took place on Saturday evening during the GIT event. …

Hack your Studies – 21.04. – 23.04. The Computer Science Student Group organized a hackathon with the theme „Hack your Studies.“ The topics were specifically about projects aimed at improving everyday student life, either by extending or enhancing existing platforms or by creating new tools. On 16.04., there were a few lectures and workshops on tools particularly useful for hackathons. For all newcomers to hackathons, this was a great opportunity to get an insight. Some project ideas were also specially designed for hackathon beginners. Feel free to bring your own project ideas as well!

Wintercontest 2023 - January 28th, 2023
This year’s winter contest was a complete success for our group. With 5 teams of three people each, there were more participants from Göttingen than in a long time. There were even 4 first-semester students among them.
A total of 74 teams from all over Germany took part. The best placement from Göttingen is 20th place with 5 solved tasks. We are also particularly pleased with the other places 31, 38, 39 and 42. This means that all of our teams solved 4 tasks and ended up at least in the middle of the field. We are pleased with the stable performance, but are encouraged to solve even more tasks in future competitions.
