The International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) is the largest international programming competition for school students. More than 300 students from over 80 different countries around the world take part in this annual competition. Each country is allowed to send a maximum of four students to this competition, which is why Austria, like most countries, organizes training camps and national competitions to determine them.

The national competition was won by Martin Bierbaumer (HTL Wien Rennweg), followed by Matthias Pleschinger (Herz Jesu Missionare Gymnasium Salzburg). 3rd place went to Nik Sauer (HTL Wien Rennweg) and 4th place to Raphael Heuchl (BG/BRG Oberschützen).

The four will take part in the IOI from September 1 to 8, 2024 in Alexandria, Egypt.

Further competitions will take place in the run-up to the IOI. The following students have qualified for the Central European Olympiad in Informatics (CEOI) after the training camp at TU Wien: Uliana Malaniak, Benjamin Aster, Julian Hessenberger, Julian Mejatsch, Leo Pichlbauer. 

Uliana Malanyak will also be taking part in the European Girls´ Olympiad in Informatics (EGOI) in the Netherlands together with Carolin Wester in July 2024.

Congratulations and best wishes for continued success!
