Dear IOI Colleagues,
   The 18th conference will be held concurrently with the 2024 International Olympiad in Informatics, taking place in Alexandra, Egypt, 1 - 8 September, 2024. 

The IOI conference considers covers national and international informatics contests, and offers an opportunity to bring together the collected knowledge and experiences from many events which currently take place across the globe.

Please submit your proposals (title and short abstracts, 2-5 lines) for papers until February to Valentina (valentina.dagiene_at_mif.vu.lt). The full papers are to be submitted by 31 of March 2024. We need time for reviewing.

If you would like to read papers from the previous IOI conferences you can find them on the IOI website: https://ioinformatics.org/page/ioi-journal/1

If you would like to get hard copies of any volumes, write me and indicate your post address. I still have few spare copies of the journal.

IMPORTANT. As previous years, the papers will be divided into two groups: research papers and country reports, reviews, etc. Please, inform me who is going to submit national reports as well.

For the research papers - 8-20 pages,
For the national reports - 5-10 pages.

Additional interesting information for IOI community would be good as well: review of books, presenting an interesting task or explanation solution, describing programming games, etc. Be creative to suggest new interesting items!

If you need more information do not hesitate to send me emails.

I am very thankful for your interest and helping me to find authors.
