NёrdCamp, an outdoor weekend for young scientists and entrepreneurs, programmers and thought leaders, was organized by Game|Changers for the fifth time. The camp had three modes: co-working, co-learning and co-resting.

It is a 3-days platform for activities related to education, work, networking and entertainment with IT being a uniting theme. The word 'Camp' refers to barcamps, foo camps. Besides, it is a real camp - the venue is located in a countryside but the environment is more comfortable (cottages and meals) as it is hosted by a Country Club “Orekh”.

NёrdCamp was attended by young representatives from various IT companies such as JetBrains, Yandex, i-Free, Intermedia, OpenWay. The fifth NёrdCamp is also associated with a range of IT-related startups and departments, such as EarlyDays, Stepic, iBinom, DM Labs, Bioinformatics Department of BIOCAD, Fab Lab Politech - as their leaders visited NёrdCamp too. The researchers from European University made an introduction on Russian IT diaspora abroad and Ukrainian software development industry.
