The University Programming Marathon (UPM) is a Slovenian competition for students in programming, where the emphasis is on knowledge of algorithms and data structures. It is a team competition and consists of three preliminary rounds and a final round. UPM takes place at all three Slovenian universities at the same time (UL, UM and UP) and represents the qualifications for the CERC (Central Europe Regional Contest), which is an integral part of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest. The latter is the largest, most prestigious and oldest competition of its kind.
