The Helvetic Coding Contest, known as HC², is the biggest programming contest in Switzerland. Held over one day on the EPFL campus, it gathers over 200 participants ready to code. This year the thirteenth edition will take place! From last year we know that teams with no previous competitive programming experience also had lots of fun!
This event is open to every ETH member, including non D-INFK students and PhDs.
