From July 21 to 27, Eindhoven (Netherlands) hosted the European Girls' Olympiad in Informatics. 195 participants from 56 countries took part in the Olympiad.

The purpose of this Olympiad is to encourage girls to participate in Olympiads in Informatics, as there are incredibly few girls at the International Olympiad in Informatics. Despite the fact that the Olympiad is European, many countries outside of Europe have the desire to send teams to face-to-face events in Europe.

The Ukrainian national team won one gold, one silver and one bronze medal:

🥇 Daria Perekopska, a 9-th grade student of the Dnipro Scientific Lyceum of Information Technologies, won a gold medal (coach — Valentyn Melnyk);

🥈 Kseniia Strelbytska, a 9-th grade student of the Vinnytsia Physics and Mathematics Lyceum No. 17, won a silver medal (coaches — Valentyn Melnyk and Andrii Popyk);

🥉 Yunna Kheifets, an 11-th grade student of the Dnipro Scientific Lyceum of Information Technologies, won a bronze medal;

🍀 Viktoriia Lavrova, a 10-th grade student of the Kremenchuk Scientific Lyceum "Polit", took part in the Olympiad (coach — Valentyn Melnyk).

The team leaders were Oleksandr Mitsa and Ihor Barenblat. The Olympiad was organized by the Ukrainian Federation of Olympic Programming. The trip was sponsored by Citadel.
