Syrian Olympiad in Informatics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Syrian Olympiad in Informatics (SOI) (Arabic: الأولمبياد المعلوماتي السوري‎) is an annual informatics competition for students under 20 years old.

There are three divisions for students depending on their age: under-12, under-15 and under-20. The under-20 division contest requires solving problems of an algorithmic nature, and the four highest-ranking contestants are qualified to form the Syrian team participating in the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), one of the most recognized computer science competitions in the world.
