Therefore, we are proud and pleased that a team from L'viv National University finished in fourth place in the prestigious ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ACM ICPC), where university teams compete to be the best computer programmers in the world.

The contest took place in Bannf, Canada in April 2008 with 100 teams competing in the final round. Earlier rounds of the competition featured 6,700 teams representing 1,821 universities from 83 countries. The competition is hosted by ACM (the Association for Computing Machinery), a society of 88,000 computing educators, researchers, and professionals worldwide.

"This contest attracts students who are likely to be tomorrow’s top prospects in the information technology and computing fields," said ACM President Stuart Feldman, who is also vice president of engineering at Google Inc. "The growing worldwide demand for technology skills will be tapping today’s winners as future employees."
