Danish Championship in Programming 2024

Saturday, October 5, 2024, from 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM

Are you the next Danish champion in programming? It’s time to gather your team as Netcompany and Jobindex invite you to the Danish Championship in Programming on October 5th.

The Danish Championship in Programming is a coding competition where you and your team will have the chance to test your coding skills and compete against other students in Copenhagen and Aarhus. If you are ready to solve challenging and fun coding tasks, now is your chance!

We look forward to welcoming you at the University of Copenhagen and Aarhus University, where the competition will be held. If you are a university student at an institution other than the University of Copenhagen or Aarhus University, you should register at the location closest to your educational institution. For example, if you are a student at Aalborg University and wish to participate, you should register for the competition at Aarhus University. If you are a student at DTU or ITU, you should register for the competition at the University of Copenhagen.

Doors open at 10:00 AM, and the competition starts at 11:00 AM. We will provide refreshments throughout the competition, and after the competition, we will serve pizza, beer, and soft drinks.

Please note that your team must be physically present at the registered location to participate in the competition.

Win the Opportunity to Compete Against International Students

In addition to great prizes for the best teams of the day, the winning team will earn the prestigious Danish Champions in Programming title and qualify to represent Denmark in the North Western European Regional Contest (NWERC). The winners of the Danish Championship in Programming will receive a gift certificate worth DKK 10,000 to participate in this year’s NWERC.
