This weekend, three teams from the department competed at the Northwestern Europe Regional Contest (NWERC 2025), hosted by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology from 28-30 November. NWERC brought together 141 top university teams from across Northwestern Europe to solve challenging algorithmic programming problems within a five-hour time limit.
With an outstanding performance, the AU team &[](auto& self, i64 i)... solved 11 out of 12 problems - earning a gold medal and securing 3rd place overall. This achievement marks the best Danish placement at NWERC in more than a decade and qualifies the team for the ICPC European Championship Finals. Congratulations Daniel, Frederik and Sebastian!
