Welcome to the website of the NWERC 2023!

The Northwestern Europe Regional Contest (NWERC) is a contest in which teams from universities all over the Northwestern part of Europe are served a series of algorithmic problems. The goal of each team is to solve as many problems as possible within the 5 hour time limit. Potential solutions are submitted and corrected by an automated judging system. The three teams that solve the most problems at the end of the contest qualify for the ICPC World Finals. These three teams, and ten more teams among the top, also qualify for the ICPC European Championship.

The 2023 edition of the Northwestern Europe Regional Contest (NWERC) was held from the 24th until the 26th of November 2023. The contest was held on the campus of the Delft University of Technology.
