RTU MIREA Teams Medal at World Programming Championship Quarterfinals, Advance to Semifinals

On November 23, the Moscow Regional Contest 2025 (MRC 2025), also known as the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) quarterfinal, unfolded at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology. 126 top teams from qualifiers competed, representing the leading universities of Moscow and Moscow Oblast.

RTU MIREA fielded four trios.

The team “MIREA: flying above the wave of expulsions” —

·         Eduard Isakov, IKBO-04-22, Institute of Information Technologies (IIT);

·         Sergei Kiryakov, KMBO-01-22, Institute of Artificial Intelligence (IAI);

·         Kirill Kobets, KMBO-03-22 Institute of Cybersecurity and Digital Technologies (ICS) —

showed a solid performance, earning a 3rd-place award and a berth for the world programming championship semifinal.

Two other two teams:

“MIREA: This name already exists” —

·         Kirill Petrov, BSBO-06-22 ICS;

·         Andrey Ishutin, KMMO-11-24 IAI;

·         Vladislav Nevsky, KMBO-07-22 IAI —

and

“MIREA: KLMno” —

·         Kirill Solovyov, EFB O-04-24, Institute of Advanced Technologies and Industrial Programming (IATIP);

·         Lev Demidovs, EFBO-05-25 IATIP;

·         Makar Vashurkin, EFBO-02-24 IATIP —

did not place, but also qualified for the semifinals based on their performance.

Finally, the team “MIREA: is undefined” —

·         Rostislav Kurilenko, INBO-30-23 IIT;

·         Roman Tolstov, INBO-30-23 IIT;

·         Yaroslav Mikhailenko, KMBO-03-22 IAI —

completed the required number of problems but were edged out on time.

All the teams shone under stress and time limits, demonstrating outstanding algorithmic prowess. Congratulations to students and their coaches, good luck in the next stage!

The “MIREA: KLMno” team, made up exclusively of students from the Institute of Advanced Technologies and Industrial Programming, is coached by Mikhail Sergeyevich Yakovlev.

All the other teams, including the prize winners and semifinalists, are coached by Dmitry Sergeyevich Kozyrev, Institute of Artificial Intelligence.

For the first time in our university’s history, three teams will represent RTU MIREA at once in the World Programming Championship semifinals. Previously, our institution was represented by one or two teams at most, but never by three simultaneously.

We wish all our teams victory and further success. Special thanks to the team coaches!

The next stage, the World Programming Championship semifinals, also known as the ICPC Northern Eurasia Finals, is to take place very soon, from December 15 to 17 in St. Petersburg. It will feature the top teams from quarterfinals held in the respective regions of the northern half of our continent.
