28/01/2026 OCPC – Osijek Competitive Programming Camp 2026 The School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics in Osijek proudly organizes the Osijek Competitive Programming Camp (OCPC) 2026, a unique international training camp and competition in competitive programming, intended for students and teams from all around the world. OCPC is an intensive program designed to provide participants with hands-on experience in solving algorithmic problems and to prepare them for major competitions such as the ICPC (International Collegiate Programming Contest). What is OCPC? OCPC is a series of ICPC-style contests (each contest lasts 5 hours and consists of a set of algorithmic and programming problems), where teams, typically composed of up to three members, collaborate and compete by solving problems of varying difficulty. The program consists of 9 contest days and 2 rest days. Participants take part in daily contests, post-contest analyses, and discussions led by problem setters and mentors. The contests follow rules consistent with the ICPC standard format: Each contest lasts approximately 5 hours Team rankings are based on the number of solved problems and the total penalty time Only one computer per team may be used at any given time Participants may request clarifications during the contest, while discussion of contest problems outside the contest environment is prohibited during the so-called silence period The contests are conducted via the e-olymp online system, and access credentials are provided to participants prior to the start of the camp. OCPC 2026 takes place at the School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics in Osijek, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, with the possibility of online participation for students from abroad or other universities.
