What happens at the EGOI
The European Girls' Olympiad in Informatics (EGOI) is a programming competition for female and non-binary students from European countries. The EGOI was founded in 2021. Just a few years later, it attracts delegations from all over the world and is a unique motivational destination for action to promote female talents in Computer Science.
The EGOI shares its competition format with the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), the annual world championship in programming for secondary school students. On each of the two days of the competition, participants take part in a 5-hour exam. They are given a series of difficult algorithmic problems and must solve them by writing programs. Their programs are then evaluated and graded for efficiency and correctness.
