One hundred of the best university teams in the world, selected from 7,109 teams from 1838 universities, gathered at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden (Royal Institute of Technology, KTH). Their task was to develop software that can help solve world-class problems. Each team consisting of three participants was offered 11 tasks. For example, creating an airport timetable for safe landing of aircraft, which would take into account changes in weather conditions, or optimization of traffic flow during peak hours. The technology selected by participants should be based on open standards.

The winning teams were determined, firstly, by the number of correctly solved tasks, and all other things being equal - by the shortest time spent searching for a solution. A team of students from St. Petersburg solved 9 of 11 problems. At the ACM ICPC Championship, four gold, silver and bronze medals are awarded. The second, third and fourth places respectively were taken by the teams of Tsinghua University from China, St. Petersburg State University and Saratov State University.
