Success Beyond the Student Competition
The students’ achievements were complemented by the success of the Huawei ICT Academy at Poznań University of Technology. During the global final, the Academy received the prestigious title of Preferred Huawei ICT Academy, making it one of only two academies in Europe to receive this distinction. In addition, the Academy community took 3rd place in an international popularity competition.
It is also worth highlighting the teams’ outstanding performance at the European Regional Final. Teams Pierogi, Enum (Toninek, Jarocin, Warszawa) and PyrAI received the competition’s highest distinction – the Grand Prize – while Kernel Panic secured 3rd place, earning qualification for the global final.
This year’s results further strengthen Poznan University of Technology’s position within the international academic community and demonstrate the effectiveness of the activities carried out by the Huawei ICT Academy at PUT. The students’ success reflects their knowledge, commitment and months of intensive preparation, supported by their supervisors and programme partners.
Congratulations to all the participants and their supervisors! We wish them every success in future international competitions.
