put our trust from the very beginning. We promoted it and we supported it, and we hope that in the future, it will gain as many other participants as possible. I wish success and good luck to all the participants in the Olympiad, success as well to our hosts and organisers in solving all the problems that might appear and I declare the competition open.”- Nușa Dumitriu Lupan, General Inspector at the Ministry of National Education and Research.

“I hope that your being here, at this international competition will be an experience that will also help you in your future activity, I wish you a nice stay here in Piatra-Neamț, and good luck to everyone” – Dragoș Chitic, Mayor of Piatra-Neamț

“ The teams with good results, if they work together will be the winner of the competition. This is very important for what you're doing

here. I hope to have good teams, with strong relations and in the end, my the best team win“ – Adrian Iftene, the Dean of the Faculty of Computer Science of Al. I. Cuza University in Iași

This year, the IOIT is organized by Ministry of National Education, Neamț County School Inspectorate, Neamț County Council, Piatra-Neamț City Hall and The National College of Computer Science. And it takes place at the National College of Informatics in Piatra-Neamț, with the partnership of the Neamț County Council. The contestants of this edition are coming from Bulgaria, Romania, Republic of Moldova, Italy and Russia.

The ceremony continued with some artistic moments, offered by the students from The National College of Computer Science and The Victor Brauner Arts High Shool, featuring musical pieces performed with the voice and the piano. One of the artistic moments was supported by one of the Italian teams (a chorus of girls sang Italian Opera, and the members of one of the Italian teams made hearts with their hands and also showed thumbs up)

At the end of the ceremony, everybody was invited to a glass of champagne or juice, depending on their age.

And this is how the first day of IOIT 2018 ends. The newsletter team also wants to encourage all the participants, and as all the officials have said today.

MAY THE BEST WIN!
