Advancing to the finals was already great success itself. Of the Central European region (Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Austria) only four universities qualified. In the finals, 132 university teams from around the world competed. Our participants took 71st place, which is solid performance. The first place was taken by The Massachusetts Institute of Technology team. Congratulations!
