IBA received a letter of thanks from Pavel Mandrik, Dean of the Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Informatics of the Belarusian State University (BSU) for sponsoring the BSU team at the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest. From March 12 to March 16, the 2007 competition finals were held in Tokyo, Japan.

The ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest has been conducted by the Association for Computer Machinery (ACM) since 1977. In 2007, 6099 student teams from 82 countries participated in the contest. The BSU team, sponsored by IBA, was one of 88 teams that reached the competition's finals.

During the championship finals, the BSU team showed good results. Having solved four problems, the Belarusian students were not only ranked as a skilled team but also won the same place as, for instance, the teams of Swedish Royal Institute of Technology, Stanford University and the University of Tokyo, and left behind a lot of famous universities, including Harvard University.
