• To improve your chances in competitions: Participants of the 2024 ACTS summer camp went on to win four gold, four silver, and five bronze medals at IOI 2024.
• To learn from the best: Train directly with world-class experts, including ICPC World Champion Pavel Mavrin and ICPC Gold Medalist Mikhail Pyaderkin.

To take advantage of global networking opportunities: Join a worldwide community of exceptional young programmers and build lasting friendships with like-minded peers.

“If you want to get gold at IOI, meet a lot of cool people, or just win a water gun and compete in rolling toilet paper as fast as possible, the ACTS camp is the right place for you. I’ve gained lots of new memories and knowledge, and I definitely recommend the camp to everyone else.”
—Eliška Macáková, International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) Gold Medalist, International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) Silver Medalist, Slovakia.

“It was quite fun. I got to meet a lot of other competitive programmers from the region. We played board games, talked, and solved problems together, and overall, it was quite nice. Feels like an IOI before the IOI. The lectures were nice, too. I definitely recommend applying for the camp.” 

—Nemanja Majski, International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) Silver Medalist, Serbia

“I really enjoyed the ACTS camp. Besides the various contests and the compelling and well-taught lectures, I also learned a lot about Romanian history and culture and made very good friends from all across Europe. I feel like the ACTS camp was a great preparation for IOI and maybe future CP contests.” 
—Simon Bachran, International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) Bronze Medalist, Germany
