Hi, NWERC 2021 will be on 2021-11-21. The registration deadline is 2021-03-12. Link: https://www.nwerc.eu/ The best teams qualify for the ICPC World Finals, one of the most prestigious programming contests. Sadly this NWERC will again be an online contest. Usually we would have traveled to a contest location somewhere in northwestern Europe, but due to the current situation it will be online, with the option of meeting at the university to participate. It will be very similar to the GCPC in June, but generally the tasks are more difficult. The rules are the same as for the last NWERC, but quite different to usual ICPC regionals: Each team member may use their own computer and you do not have to physically meet your team or anyone else. You may also copy arbitrary code from the internet or anywhere else, but have to provide a link to the source in your code. The contest is 5 hours long and has about 10-12 tasks, which are algorithmic in nature and comparable to GCPC or the competitive programming lecture. In a team of three people, you should try to solve as many of them as possible. Allowed languages include C++, Python 3 and Java. There is a restriction of at most 3 teams per university. Please fill out quick poll if you want to participate (today): https://dudle.inf.tu-dresden.de/nwerc2021/ Best, Julian
