Cyberhack @ UVT
On June 12-13 at UVT we want to organize a Hackathon at UVT, a CTF (Capture The Flag) cybersecurity competition where participants have to solve a variety of security related tasks. It involves tasks in various categories such as Binary Exploitation, Reverse Engineering, Web Exploitation, Cryptography, Blockchain, … and is aimed at high school students grades 9-12 with whom will mentor students from the Master of Cyber Security at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science UVT.
Please register by 31 May so that we can organise the necessary technical equipment,
Thank you,
UVT team.

Cloudflight Coding Contest (CCC)
Cloudflight Coding Contest, one of the largest coding competitions in Europe, will take place again on 5 November 2021, in an online-only edition for participating cities in Romania. In addition to the already established #school CCC (dedicated exclusively to students) and #classic CCC (dedicated to students, but also to any professionals in the field), a new Artificial Intelligence challenge makes its debut this year. As before, both team and individual participation is allowed.
For more details about the organisation and to register for the Timisoara location (online), visit the official website.

Stefan Mărușter Computer Science Contest (CISM)
“Stefan Mărușter” Informatics Contest (CISM) aims to increase the interest and skills of computer science, computing and information technology students from universities in Romania and neighbouring countries, as well as students passionate about computer science, in solving algorithmic problems and developing programming skills, teamwork and competitive spirit. Another objective is to stimulate the students’ interest in research work, which will take the form of a scientific communication session.
The competition has three sections and the following forms (depending on the option) must be completed in order to participate:

Robotics/programming competition for pupils and students
The Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science in collaboration with the Romanian Society for Cultural Astronomy (SRPAC) organizes for the first time at the Ioan Curea Astronomy Contest a robotics and programming challenge. Amateurs, pupils or students can participate in teams of up to 4 people, solving the theme proposed by the organisers.

Calendar:
15 April – challenge launch.
30 June – deadline for team registration.
15 September – Robot prototype with sensors installed and working (or simulation in Unity).
1 October – deadline for submission of demonstration videos of the two scenarios. Based on them, the teams that will participate in the final of the second edition of the Ioan Curea practical astronomy contest will be selected. Jurors have the right to ask for clarification on the implementation of the robot at this stage.
15 October – selection of finalists.
9 November – the final of the Ioan Curea observational astronomy competition in Timisoara. Competitors will have to demonstrate the operation of the robot/application for 2 hours in various environments (light, dark) without a power supply in the area (socket). The robot that lasts the longest, implements the most functionality and has the fastest reaction time is the winner.
