Greetings!

We are thrilled to invite you to The 2nd Universal Cup, Stage 17: Jinan, taking place on January 6th, 2024.

The contest is an official ICPC Regional Contest — The 2023 ICPC Asia Jinan Regional Contest. Just like Nanjing and many other Chinese Regionals, there is finally an onsite event after three years of the online contest.

As the chief judge for the second time in an ICPC regional contest, I am proud of the hard work and dedication that has gone into preparing this contest. We hope it provides an enriching and enjoyable experience for all participants.
