EUC 2026 first day

Yesterday I have arrived in Warsaw, which will host ICPC EUC 2026 this Sunday. As you can see on the left, Warsaw in Feburary (much like Wijk aan Zee in January) is very conductive for indoor activities, which is perfect to be able to truly focus on a programming competition.

I have arrived too late to get to the opening ceremony, but from the slides that were shared it seems that, among other things, Bill has announced the dates for the upcoming ICPC World Finals: November 15-20, 2026 in Dubai (which was already announced before), and September 14-19, 2027 in a yet undisclosed (but seemingly known to the ICPC organizers) location. The ICPC EUC 2027 location was announced last year to be Eindhoven, Netherlands.

But for now the focus is on the upcoming championship, where 8 teams have already qualified for the Dubai World Finals from the various ERCs and are just competing for fun and glory, while ~8 more teams will qualify tomorrow. Best of luck!
