The prestigious international SEERC (South Eastern Europe Regional Contest)—the South Eastern Europe Regional Championship in competitive programming—took place on December 12–14, 2025.

The competition featured 106 teams from 66 universities across 13 European countries, underscoring the high level of competition and the significance of the tournament.
According to the results of SEERC 2025, the Ukrainian team from Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics (NURE) took first place in the overall standings, confidently outperforming strong teams from leading European universities.
The winning team from NURE was represented by students from the Department of Software Engineering:
Roman Pitsura
Konstantin Denisov
Valerii Grinenko
The team was trained under the guidance of the Associate Professor of the Department of Software Engineering, O.V. Vechur.
SEERC brings together the strongest student teams in the region, who solve complex algorithmic problems within a limited time, demonstrating a high level of professional training, logical thinking, and teamwork.
Based on the competition results, the NURE team advanced to the European finals, which will take place in early February in Warsaw, and also became the only Ukrainian team to earn the right to represent Ukraine in the finals of the ICPC World Championship.
This result is a significant achievement for NURE and the entire Ukrainian IT education sector, confirming the competitiveness of Ukrainian students on the global stage.
We sincerely congratulate the team on their brilliant victory and wish them success in the European and World Finals!
