The international “Bebras” Informatics and Computational Thinking Competition will be held in Azerbaijan from November 23 to 29, 2026. Registration is now open for students wishing to participate in the competition.
The “Bebras” competition is organized by the Innovation and Digital Development Agency and “ÖzünÖyrən” LLC, the official representative of “Bebras” in Azerbaijan. Its primary objective is to foster school students’ interest in informatics and computer science while developing their logical and algorithmic thinking, analytical reasoning, and problem-solving skills.

The tasks will assess students’ analytical thinking, logical reasoning, and problem-solving abilities.
The competition week, scheduled for November 23–29, will serve as the qualification round. Students who achieve high scores at this stage will qualify for the semifinal and final rounds.
